Plant-based meats and insect snacks: the new food horizons?

While several fast food chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Del Taco and Blaze Pizza have added vegan options to their menus, start-ups such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, are producing meatless meat. This meat is synthesised from vegetable proteins, looking and tasting like meat while being healthier, more environmentally friendly and eliminating animal cruelty. This trend is only going to increase: according to a study published in June 2019 by the consulting firm AT Kearney, only 40% of the meat consumed in 20 years will actually come from animals.
