Price and taste play big roles in adopting a plant-based diet

13 Sept 08:20 Key points summarised by AI

Price and taste emerge as primary barriers hindering wider consumer adoption of plant-based diets, despite significant market growth.
Consumers demand more affordable, better-tasting alternatives with improved texture and wider availability to match conventional products.
Nutritional transparency is crucial, as many consumers seek clear information on protein content and express concerns over highly processed ingredients and high sodium levels in some plant-based substitutes.
Industry players are innovating with new plant-based products, but must address these core consumer hesitations to fully capitalize on the expanding market.

"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
