Plant-Based Meat Just Got Real-But Is Your Mindset Ready?

LISTEN TO THIS NEWS ARTICLE

Plant-based meat burgers? Easy. Mince? No problem. But a juicy, pull-apart steak? That’s where things fell apart, literally. Now, US based, Demolish Foods says it has cracked the code with its Gen4 platform. If they’re right, this could change everything.

Gen4’s protein chaining tech builds muscle fibres the way nature intended. The result? It tears like steak, chews like steak, and, says Demolish, cooks like one too. No weird textures. No endless ingredient lists. Just eight clean-label components, zero gluten, and a nutritional profile stacking up against real meat.

But are consumers really ready for this shift? Because while the tech might be there, mindset remains the real barrier.

Taste isn’t just about flavour, it’s about memory, expectation, and ritual. The good old Sunday roast isn’t just protein, it’s a tradition. Even if a plant-based steak is indistinguishable from the real thing, it still has to fight the idea it’s a substitute rather than a default. If it’s too realistic, it can even feel unsettling.

The science is moving faster than perception. People support plant-based eating in theory visa vi health, sustainability, ethics, but rewiring taste memory takes time. Even if Gen4’s whole cuts outperform meat on texture and juiciness, the emotional pull of meat as real food remains strong.

Beyond the plate, Gen4 increases production speeds sixfold and slashes costs by 35%. A stable, scalable, and genuinely delicious alternative? Supermarkets and restaurants should be paying attention.

So what does this mean for you? More options not feeling like a compromise. But plant-based meat isn’t waiting for you to catch up. The only thing left to change is your mindset.

This version keeps the punch, clarity, and consumer psychology hook while trimming any excess.
