But the founder and chief executive of meat substitute maker Impossible Foods, Patrick Brown, made a bold claim in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer.

This is why I think people are increasingly aware plant-based products are going to completely replace the animal-based products in the food world within the next 15 years. That’s our mission. That transformation is inevitable.”
