There has been some research to make products that are compatible with veganism e.g. lab-grown meat. The latest technological discovery in the news was 'meaty rice'
Disclaimer: I also eat meat since I don't trust my intestines to fully rely on plant-based nutrients. I do, however, think there is merit to how the industrialization of farming has been destroying the environment, especially with the excess of methane from cattle.
I have a better solution to get a meaty taste that is 100% practical and actually being used for millions of years, even before humans existed: Just eat meat.
It's not necessarily the meaty "taste". Many people have health complications with their digestive systems (one example I can think of is Celiac's) that can make it near-impossible to get nutrients from plant-based food. If you can grow meat in the lab, you can get animal-sourced nutrients without hurting animals (for vegans) nor large resources that are typically used for climate-damaging meat industries (for everyone)
I know a medicine for diseases like that and you can get it pretty much everywhere, it's called "Just eat meat", it's been working for millions of years.
We should be focusing on making orbital platforms where to keep the cattle so they don't pollute rather than not focusing on non space stuff. Smh.
