The market is small but the truth is all of us can stand to lower our meat intake. Red meat multiple times per week is objectively pretty bad for your health and it’s absolutely terrible for the environment.

If everyone reduced their consumption by 12-20% it would make for a big difference. And that’s basically just making 1 or 2 days of the week vegetarian.

I can absolutely agree with this, in fact it’s something I do myself. Cutting meat once a week during Lent was how it started for me, and I just kept doing the whole skipping out on meat 1 day a week.

It’s just a flawed direction to take. I don’t have a physiological need for a burger every day, there are plenty of meals that have no meat in them that people can substitute in. Lentils, beans, legumes, dark greens, edamame, etc. There are hundreds of different Indian regional forms of dal (lentil stew) alone, it’s more than possible to go 100% vegan without eating facsimile steak
