There is a lot of attention being given to the topic of alternative protein — "meatlike" products — which is causing concern among some people involved in the traditional production of meat.
The good news? Consumers say protein content is important. The bad news? They aren't always aware that meat, chicken and seafood are good sources of protein.
Meat substitutes are plant-based products that have the protein content, appearance and taste of real meat, meat-like textures, and highly beneficial compositions containing essential amino acids with low or no cholesterol.
