Found a 2019 thread predicting the plant-based meat shortage in my old forum bookmarks
Last month I was clearing out my browser history and stumbled on a thread from a tiny vegan forum I used in 2019. Someone in Ohio wrote that their tofu supplier kept running late and the big brands would panic within 5 years. That hit news last week, and I still have the bookmark to prove it. Anyone else keeping screenshots of small predictions that age too well?
That line about the tofu supplier running late is the real gem here, because it shows how supply problems show up at the small end way before the big brands ever notice. Most people track predictions through headlines, but tiny forums like that are where you catch the early warning signs since the folks buying in bulk feel every hiccup first. Your bookmark is a nice reminder that the best proof usually comes from some random post nobody thought twice about.
