1.2. you can’t change other people’s behavior by appealing to their moral code

1.2.1. he knows that exactly the opposite will happen

1.3. So instead of protesting outside a meat production company

1.3.1. he decided to appeal to something much more fundamental to human nature

1.3.2. their taste buds

1.4. Brown’s goal is to replace all animal-based meat production

1.5. To do that, he is trying to create food that

1.5.1. 1) tastes/looks/smells/feels as good or better than real meat

1.5.2. 2) is at least the same price, if not cheaper

1.6. started a company, Impossible Foods

1.6.1. the creators of the meat-free, plant-based Impossible Burger
