They imitate meats, but is there any evidence that, in practice, they replace them? In menus, and I suspect in actual human eating behavior, they seem to replace earlier vegetarian options like old-school TVP, not meat.
[edit: added "contingently" above. Some education programs have been found to be scams yet could be paid for with debt. I generally stand by the value of higher education and have found it to be a net benefit in my own life. The value has been strained as costs have shifted and the social contract is rearranged behind the backs of educators at all levels]

My son took an IQ test and it wouldn't score him because he breaks this assumption. He was getting 98% in some tasks and 2% in others. The psychologist giving him the test said it was unlikely enough pattern that they couldn't get an IQ result for him. He's been diagnosed with non-verbal learning disability, and this is apparently common for nvld folks.

Seems to me Microsoft office is still the dominant player.
