Is "artificial meat" a false demand for hype?

"Artificial meat" is not a false demand for speculation. According to the normal thinking of ordinary people, since "artificial meat" is a substitute for meat, it should be cheaper than real meat. In order to be able to eat meat, people have invented a lot of simulated meat and vegetarian food since ancient times. Archaeologists found a painting that recorded the technique of making tofu in the Han tombs more than 2000 years ago. Gu Tao, a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, specifically mentioned in his notes that dried tofu was once called "mutton" in the Tang Dynasty. This shows that tofu is not only a bean product in China, but also a substitute for meat. According to scholars' research, gluten, another ancient food in China, is also a substitute for meat. However, meat made from bean products can't replace real meat. If you go to a vegetarian restaurant occasionally to eat fish-flavored tofu and shredded pork, you will find it delicious. However, I still want to eat real meat after eating for a long time.

Why can't dried bean curd take the place of real meat? Although the content of protein in dried bean curd can reach about 35% and the content of protein in gluten can reach 60%, there is one thing in real meat that tofu and gluten don't have, and that is fat.

The idea of synthesizing meat is the same as making tofu gluten. It extracts protein, fat and other substances from plants, and tries various methods to simulate the taste and nutritional value of meat. You might think the idea of artificial meat is boring. Isn't this vegetarian chicken tofu and mushroom balls that can be seen everywhere in the supermarket? This was the case before we realized the crisis of meat production. The synthetic meat products on our table are also aimed at vegetarians or health food advocates who don't want to eat too much meat. However, the new round of artificial meat startups don't think so. The market they are targeting is the real meat market.

The bigger the market, the faster the price of artificial meat will fall. Since artificial meat will definitely replace traditional meat in the future, it is better to let artificial meat enter our table faster. I also hope that the state can support our artificial meat enterprises to participate in market competition. This is a big cake, and foreign countries can't share it.
