Thanks buddy! Another tiny bit is me ๐. You're welcome world!
Oat milk truly does wonders (or any other plant milk that you happen to like)
That's not a lot
Compared to:
In 2024, global meat production is estimated to have risen by 1.3%, reaching 365 Mt. Source
And meat production has overall doubled since the 1990s. Source (in French)
From the post's article :
Overall, vegan meat and seafood products accounted for just 1% of total retail sales of meat in the US, much lower than the 13% milk market share occupied by non-dairy alternatives.
In fact the title even makes clear that private funding has declined for another consecutive year.
Things like this tend to grow very non-linearly. Slowly for a long time then speed up a lot more when the social norms around it start shifting
no thanks to soylent. they only filled three of my orders last year.
theyre shipping again now, so maybe it will keep going up...
