Write a headline for when pb is too common to report

[Lou]

So I just read an article. The headline really didn't have much to do with the body of the article but the headline got me thinking.

It was

Soon, Plant-Based Food Will Become So Common
It Won't Be Newsworthy Anymore

​

It got me thinking, what would the last headlines look like.

Just imagining a few put a smile on my face. So I thought it might be fun to come up with a few. Then I thought that this could be a fun challenge. The funniest one. The most likely. the most anticipated. The most obvious. etc. You could even assign a category (or make up your own) just for more fun.

You don't have to write the whole article. Just the headline. Maybe a sub-headline or first sentence would be good if it needs it.

I've already got a bunch of ideas but to get the ball rolling....

We haven't added to this in a while.

Of course, this whole thread was just tongue in cheek. But I'm a little saddened that my very first "prediction" is now less likely to happen.

On March 1, I wrote

Smithfield Foods Declares Bankruptcy
CEO laments, "We Thought Plant-Based Was Just A Fad"​

Now it turns out that this is not going to happen. PETA reported on August 17th that Smithfield is launching a line of vegan meats.

You know I have a lot of mixed feelings when any big nasty meat (or dairy) company gets involved in animal-free products. I was conflicted when Tyson invested in Beyond Meat. And I still shun Silk whenever possible after it was purchased by WhiteWave and then by Dean. I'm pretty sure I will never have an Awesome Burger (Nestle).

But you know, i kind of want Smithfield to have some success with Plant-based meats. like maybe if they make enough money from their Pure Farmland line they won't have to kill so many pigs. But I don't think I'll ever buy a Smithfield product.

Anyway, in keeping with this theme.

And here is the link to the PETA article.

The Future Is Vegan, and Smithfield Foods Knows It | PETA

So many kind brands have already been offering vegan food options for years. Now, the notorious Smithfield Foods—forced to evolve—is hustling to catch up.
