Meat alternatives or meat substitutes such as produces made from soy, peas, beans, and legumes are on the rise as more people adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet. Products such as 'Beyond Meat' are taking the meat industry by storm; however, there remains considerable controversy on whether or not these products are healthier in the long run. Discuss what you know about meat alternatives and how you believe they have impacted the meat production industry lately.

"The rise of meatless products is certainly a factor that the meat production industry should notice. However, I do not feel that we are in danger of losing a ton of market share. Products such as veggie burgers and tofu dogs have been around for a very long time. In any industry, there will be a product that shakes things up for a while. I am not concerned that things like a 'Beyond Meat' burger will take over a real beef burger anytime soon. It's only around 3.2% of the US population who identify as vegetarian and an even smaller .5% who identify as vegan. Meat products will remain king for good, I believe."

"I understand that meat alternatives are on the rise, so the meat production industry needs to remain steadfast in our marketing. It's a tiny percentage of people in North America who are vegan or vegetarian, and many are not aware of the negative impact that soy-based alternatives can have on their health. I know some products have made a big splash lately; however, I do not feel any of them are strong enough to take away a significant and consistent market share from the meat industry."
