Take low-FODMAP diets [1] for example, which are becoming very popular with people with IBS, a condition some ~15% of the U.S. population suffers from [2]. For many, coming up with enough sources of protein while satisfying their dietary restrictions is not easy without meat.&lt;p&gt;On an individual level, picking the &amp;quot;harder&amp;quot; way for its ethical advantages is definitely the right thing to do.&lt;p&gt;For the scientist working on fake meat, their work is probably essential here.&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    [1]: https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;FODMAP
