A Morning Consult survey from March found 36 percent of Americans wished more fast-food restaurants offered vegetarian options. This growing interest is helping drive up demand for the plant-based meat market, spearheaded by brands like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat.

Since September 2018, the share of adults who are familiar with Impossible has grown from 21 to 35 percent. Over that same time, purchasing consideration has nearly doubled – rising from 8 to 15 percent.
