Was there ever any actual demand? In any emergency, when you would see supermarkets stripped bare, you would always see the vegan section fully stocked. Were these companies being propped up with USAID money? They're definitely pushing an agenda. They want you eating bugs and living in a government supplied cubical until they decide you should die.
There's probably some small demand in select areas, but I'm sure they had outside funding - even if it was quiet funding.
