And from the downvotes I conclude that this will remain a mostly secret judge. It's sad, that you don't see it yet, this will very likely be the future whether you like it or not (when we don't fuck it up completely, but I'm somewhat hopeful).
The argument that meat is cheaper is also not really true anymore. There's basically no reason to eat meat anymore. Matter of fact, I developed a distaste to meat when I mostly stopped with eating meat, after eating way too much before (tastes kind of rotten compared to plant-based), try it out, it's easier than you think, and gets easier over time.
As long as the alternatives keep getting tastier and cheaper, I'm all in. I'm glad it worked out for you, but I didn't have the same experience when I tried removing meat from my diet. I've been able to find substitutes and recipes to eat way less meat, but I still get that need if I haven't had any for a while. I can't wait for the day that the alternatives bump off meat completely for me, but for now I'll consume as little as I can.
I've been incorporating mushrooms into a lot more meals where there would be larger portions of meat, so damn tasty.
Yeah mushrooms contain a good amount of umami (one of the ingredients of meat that makes it "tasty"). For me it took quite some time (maybe 2-4 years) until my gut adjusted to the taste of a (mostly) vegan diet. But then there's just a lot more diversity and interesting taste otherwise. With a good amount of experimentation combining all kinds of different things to compose a unique taste. With meat it's often just the main taste-defining/dominating ingredient (so kinda boring?). I avoid the highly processed "meat"-replacements though, maybe that helped a bit to get my taste away of meat.
