Plant-based mince is now 29% cheaper than beef, lamb, and pork mince at Tesco, according to a price comparison conducted by nonprofit think tank GFI Europe
The beyond burgers I just bought are still 15% more expensive than premium chicken or beef burgers. I’m still waiting for the alternative I was promised.
I have a hard time believing meat alternatives are more expensive to produce, but I’m open to being educated on the matter. Paying more money to not torture animals sounds noble at the surface level, but is ultimately just another corporate scam if it otherwise has cheaper production costs. I’ve found recipes online for making meatless burgers which mostly include very basic vegetable ingredients. I’m sure big companies like Beyond and Impossible add a bunch of filler junk to their products though.

Some people pay extra to not torture animals.
Should be the other way around. People should pay more to eat a tortured animal.
Yeah… on a black market while getting E.coli, Salmonella and tape worms.
