Man, I’ve got lots of great vegetarian and vegan recipes but you lose out on a ton of culinary options when you remove meat from the equation. Seriously, I’ve never had a vegan taco that comes even close to replicating an authentic mexican taco.
The only ways you’re going to convince a majority of people to quit eating meat is if you can adequately provide alternatives. We’re slowly getting there, impossible burger does a pretty decent job at imitating ground beef, but it’s not cheaper, not yet. If we can nail lab-grown meat, it’ll be a perfect replacement, cleaner, cheaper, and better for the environment, and folks can enjoy all the various meat based dishes from the world over!

I mean I'm willing to give up a small piece of flavor pleasure to do the right thing. I wouldn't keep drinking orphan's tears just because I couldn't find the exact flavor elsewhere...
Lab grown meat is quite far away still, and while it may be cheaper to produce, those cost savings sure as shit won't go to consumers...
