Impact of a Switch to Plant-Based Foods That Visually and Functionally Mimic Animal-Source Meat and Dairy Milk for the Australian Population-A Dietary Modelling Study.

ABSTRACT: Sales of plant-based 'meat' and 'milk'-products that mimic the visual and functional characteristics of animal-source foods-have increased rapidly during the past decade and are predicted to continue to increase. As plant-based 'meat' and 'milk' are nutritionally dissimilar to the animal-source originals, this study aimed to estimate the nutritional implications for the Australian population of substituting 'Easily Swappable' animal-source meat and dairy milk with plant-based imitation products. Computer simulation modelling was undertaken using dietary intake data collected in 2011-12 from a nationally representative survey sample. Conservative and Accelerated dietary transition scenarios were modelled in which various amounts of dairy milk and animal-source meat were replaced with plant-
