The market has exploded since I went vegan four years ago. It was great at first but the last two years has seen the market become saturated with companies all making burgers, sausages and bacon that all taste the same as each other. Quality is also an issue and few brands can claim to be better than mediocre, despite asking for a premium price.
I eat it on special occasions only now and there are only a few products I buy, like Vivera salmon or Linda McCartney chicken burgers. Otherwise, I make my own bean burgers, which came meat has killed off in supermarkets these days.
Bit of a weird article this. What’s the dentist got to do with well… Anything? Did I miss something?
I don’t think so, I think there’s still a good future for it.
I always thought that the “vegan meat” was supposed to be a substitute for people who can’t afford real meat.
If I go for vegan meal, the last thing I’d want is for it to resemble meat in any way. What is the logic there?

Probably more likely people have had their fill of food getting more expensive.
And products like these suffer along with lots of others.
