More Americans consuming meat alternatives without becoming vegetarian
A new report shows tempeh, tofu and seitan making gains.
According to a report from Mintel, 36 percent of Americans say they consume meat alternatives like tofu, tempeh and seitan despite only seven percent identifying as vegetarian. However, it appears the inroads meat alternatives have made aren't coming at the expense of traditional meat products. Sixteen percent of respondents say they use meat alternatives alongside other meat products, and less than half say they have replaced meat with alternatives.
