Because they’re meat, and lots of people are very insistent about eating meat. You’ve honestly got to downplay the ecological and ethical aspects a bit when marketing because some people really get their backs up about green shit. There’s already a product where ground beef has been cut with ground vegetation, and I’ve had no trouble getting people with strong anti-vegan feelings to buy it because it’s still meat, it’s delicious, and it saves them money.
Also, not everyone has to do these things to make a positive impact. A relatively small percentage of adopters will cause market changes. It’s great if more people become vegan, and it’s also great if we slightly reduce demand for mammal meats. It’s like that story about the guy trying to save starfish when the tide’s gone out. (I’m pretty sure they can just walk into the sea on their own, but it’s the spirit of the story that matters.)
How is “everyone is going to start eating worms” more realistic than everyone going vegan.
