Are you only talking about directly? Because there is a huge amount of indirect costs, such as feed, transport, manufacturing.
- nightski 8y agoPlant based products have similar transport & manufacturing impact so I am not including that. In addition, for feeding often this comes from by-products of plant production (sugar by-products, etc...). The only reason corn is so popular imo is because it is so heavily subsidized by our government making it dirt cheap. But grass fed beef is a thing and it's on par or even quite a bit cheaper price wise than fake meat.
