Yes, yes, and yes.
But in my experience this only gives a strawfire effect.
A lot of people go back to eating meat. That's my experience anyway.
One person not eating meat for the rest of his life would be better than 3 people eating half as much for a few months, so to say.Yes of course every vegan meal served instead of a meat dish is a good thing.
But the long-lasting change of peoples habits is what counts really.
Ok, there may be some people who are good with this "cut down meat consumption" model,
but what I saw in a years of cooking / catering is that the conditioning is so strong they will want to go back to "real" burgers etc. sooner or later. The craving is not satisfied, it's just a compromise, their bellies may be full but they are not satisfied, they are still craving.Of course there are exceptions, and especially the younger generations (that, thank god, haven't been conditioned with decade-long meat eating already) are much more open to all kinds of food.
That meat-umami thing is very hard to cheat, tell me what you want.
A lot of people crave this, they want to eat the burned flesh of an animal.
You are not going to win them over with fucking Tofu Bratwurst. Not long-term at least.

They can still do both, I do, eat nice dishes that are just nice, and sometimes just have meat substitute thing and chips or whatever because that's what I grew up on to some extent and it's nice now and then. Also, more importantly, 3 people eating half as much meat is better than one person eating none and these kind of things can help some people cut down.
