2   “They say it is meat-free, but you can still taste the meat. How?” asked Jim suspiciously.

3   “For the sake of hunger and curiosity, let’s try it!” said Lucy.

5   Humans began to eat meat at least 2 million years ago. People ate meat so that they could get energy and become stronger. However, some people nowadays think that humans should stop eating meat to avoid negative effects. To achieve this “meatless” goal, some scientists have created fake meat to replace real meat. They claim that fake meat can help us catch fewer diseases and reduce greenhouse gas* emission*.

6   Several leading brands and famous people have already taken the first steps. They attempt to encourage people to choose fake meat as a substitute*. For example, Burger King started selling their Impossible Whopper, which looks like a normal burger but has no beef. Burger King said the fake meat in this burger tastes the same as real meat, even though it is 100% made from plants. In addition, some celebrities like Bill Gates and Leonardo DiCaprio support fake-meat production as well. They have invested in Beyond Meat, a fake-meat company that has sold their products in many supermarkets around the world, including American and Taiwan.

7   Eating fake meat has gradually become a trend. However, while more and more people have been convinced that eating fake meat can prevent climate change from getting worse, not everyone is in favor of it. Some ranchers* worry about losing their jobs, and many consumers think it is natural for humans to eat meat. What’s more, fake meat is usually much more expensive than real meat.

8   What do you think about this new “meat” trend? When it comes to switching the way you eat, are you willing to do it or are you against it?
