Plant-based dining grows to $16 billion by 2025. Fine dining vegan restaurants earn 35% higher margins than traditional establishments. Labor-intensive techniques (house-made nut cheeses) justify premium pricing. Food costs challenge operators - specialty ingredients remain 40% pricier than animal products. Instagram-worthy plating drives 60% of customer decisions. Many chefs now operate cloud kitchens to reduce overhead while testing concepts. Fermentation and local foraging become key differentiators in competitive markets.

The movement counters high-tech veganism by celebrating manual skills - carrot "scallops" hand-carved to mimic mollusk grain. Critics argue this excludes budget diners, but proponents note it's still cheaper than cultured meat. The key is reframing simplicity as luxury when 87% of consumers distrust food tech claims.

With lab-grown meat and advanced plant-based proteins gaining popularity, vegan chefs face the challenge of maintaining authenticity while staying competitive. By emphasizing organic, minimally processed ingredients, chefs can appeal to health-conscious consumers. Developing unique, locally sourced menus and collaborating with sustainable farms can differentiate their offerings. Educating customers about the nutritional and ethical benefits of whole foods through workshops, content creation, and community engagement fosters trust and loyalty. While technology may advance plant-based options, preserving culinary tradition and focusing on high-quality, natural ingredients ensures longevity in the evolving food industry.

An update on protocol priorities going into 2025. We think a lot of interesting things are going to be built onchain soon. Farcaster should be the programmable and credibly neutral social network that brings users, developers and blockchains together. But what does this mean tangibly?

What does an AI-first social network look like? Some thoughts. First, you can prototype it with Farcaster. You don’t need to reinvent users, wallets, the feed, any of that. So that alone speeds you up. Second, open source models are now cheap enough to run that you can just put them behind a normal button. X’s Grok integration is a good example. Third, there is tremendous room for an AI which is prompted not just on immediate context (your post) but on social context (your past posts and those of your friends). It could autogenerate prompts it thinks you’d like. Fourth, AI improvements on seemingly simple things like image upload widgets could be profound. You could automatically search for similar images, upscale them, auto-annotate them, or do something else. Fifth, AI could enforce a certain style in a community. As heavy-handed example, every post could be rewritten in Olde English. If you opted into this kind of moderation, it could produce unique communities. Like filters, but for text.
