They can easily replace it by natural minerals, but that would raise the costs of meat. And consumers mainly choose by price.

Because the company making slightly less money is completely unthinkable to them.

It‘s also about costs for customers and affordability. In Germany, politicians of the Green (eco) Party once mentioned the idea of a meat-free day a week at school cantinas.

You will be surprised for how many people the offering of meat stands for „a standard of living“ and not getting meat was before WW2 standards for them.
