We had a pretty huge "fake meat" funding craze in 2021. Beyond meat traded at >$200 for a bit, now it is $1. Not sure why it all burned out and disappeared.
It all burned out because the market for 'fake meat' is tiny, the meat loving ethical or ignorant vegetarians. The vast bulk of the vegetarian market would prefer a lentil burger. In the real market for 'fake meat', it needs to compete economically with factory chicken, which is one of the cheapest protein sources on the planet.
