Erh...Would you like to eat Fake Meat?( The new way of meat)

There is increasing need for fitness in the world today. I was just wondering if you would like to eat fake meat. Reviews from fortune and today magazine say that you could be fooled. You might not be able to tell the difference.

But, I know the Naija man; that nothing gives him/her the kicks like "local content" when it comes to food. 


Lots of investors have backed up this aspect of the meat industry since 2012 and they are set to convince you that you would like it. 
This has attracted investors such as bill gates, founder of twitter and even the Google founders where said to have interests.

According to a research firm, in 2012 sales from fake meat reached 553 million dollars. Faux meat is mostly made from plant. It is made from soy protein or textured vegetable protein in powdered form. This is then denatured so it could have a fibrous nature as meat. A kind of glue is used to hold it together.  Wheat gluten is also used to produce fake meat. Other plant materials used in production of fake meat are Yellow peas, camelina, mustard seeds and yeast.
Whether its fake or real, am sure many people just want to try things.  This commodity is a new competition for real animal products. Even though fake meat is still slightly expensive than real meat.
I bet you would like to taste it just to see if you can tell the difference.

Which other food commodity would have a fake sister or brother soon?
