I’ve been buying more and more bean burgers again. I think they just taste better then meat replicas.

Overpriced. Tastes fine, but they’re selling a brand and not just tvp.

If only they could get the price to match meat. I’d buy it every time.

Beyond is the price that meat should cost, but the meat industry is heavily subsidized.

Meat is subsidized in a lot of place, so I would be curious to know if meat alternatives like Beyon Meat get any subsidies.

But yeah, Beyond Meat prices are steep. It’s 35$/kg here, which is what salmon cost.

Oh, I understand the subsidies keep these kind of products from becoming mainstream. Almost as if it’s by design.

It’s a shame; they’re expensive and yet the best-tasting meat substitute I’ve tried. I especially enjoy their minced meat, for home-made dumplings and belyashi, although I only make them like twice a year.

I actually prefer Beyond to beef burgers, and back when beef prices were soaring, they cost about the same. But yes, they need to lower the price.
