Pound for Pound, I could still see an engineered meat cube having better texture than tofu. Even if this was just used for ground beef substitute, it would probably be fine.



Tofu is not intended to be a direct replacement for meat. And some well prepared tofu is a delicious thing.


Given what some outlets (Taco Bell[1], looking at you) pass as meat, it won't be much of a change anyway.

I, for one, wouldn't mind trying it out, but I have serious doubts it would approach the quality of real meat grilled burger anytime soon. And I understand that there are places where people are starving and such technologies can save lives, but realistically being the part of the lucky billion that is not under the threat of starvation I would always prefer the real thing if it's available.

There's not a vast difference between what's sold as ground beef and what Taco Bell serves.
