I’m seeing an interesting parallel between my work gigs on energy transition stuff (fossil fuels + combustion tech to renewables+electricity tech) and personal life efforts to gradually move to a plant-based diet. Cc

Cooking meat over an open fire is a very old human ritual. I don’t see it going away any time soon. That said, top chefs & restauranteurs need to lead the charge on presenting alternatives to the public. It’s risky bc people eat what’s familiar but more options = more successes.

Depends where & how you live - but point taken. I just don’t think people will give up their real meat so easily. And while there’s demand there will be supply. So like I said, the tastemakers need to lead the charge on demand.

I think it’s much deep in our psychology. Granted, many of my Indian relatives haven’t eaten meat across many generations but they do rely heavily on dairy & blindly on eggs. And how far back before omnivores? BTW, tobacco is relatively novel in human span & not as ubiquitous.

You think Indians would give up milk and dairy from cows? I’m skeptical about this. And I can’t see China giving up on meat and seafood either - well I guess the Party could insist upon it if they want another revolution.
