Sažetak
Protein substitutes for meat are food products that are gaining importance due to changing consumer tastes, increased awareness of environmental protection and the questionable ethics of meat production. The aim of the paper is to present relevant researches and to determine the respondents’ interest and opinions about the most common alternatives to meat through authors own survey. The survey was conducted online on a convenient sample of 104 respondents. Highly educated women of younger age groups show the greatest tendency to replace meat with vegetable substitutes. The most acceptable substitutes for meat are legumes. The results indicate that consumers are aware of the negative impacts of meat production on the environment and animal welfare, but the taste of meat substitutes discourages them from accepting them.
