3 h. ago Why vegan burgers are losing the US culture war over meat: ‘Not our moment’

Once seen as a climate fix, vegan burgers now languish at 1% of the US market amid rising meat culturePlant-based burgers were supposed to help wean Americans off their environmentally ruinous appetite for meat. But sales have plummeted amid a surging pro-meat trend embraced by the Trump administration, raising a key question – will vegetarianism ever take hold in the US?This year has been a punishing one for the plant-based meat sector, led by companies such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, with sales of refrigerated products slumping 17%.

The Naked Light by Bridget Collins; Exiles by Mason Coile; Alchemised by SenLinYu; Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei; Big Time by Jordan ProsserThe Naked Light by Bridget Collins (Borough, £18.99)The latest from the bestselling author of The Binding is set in England and focuses on three “surplus women” after the first world war: bored, lonely Florence, her fey niece Phoebe, and Kit, a bohemian artist haunted by memories of wartime France, where she painted masks for wounded soldiers to wear over horrifically damaged faces.
