Aren't they massively subsidized already? It's soybeans, after all.
- hombre_fatal 1y agoMost soybeans are fed to animals and only a tiny amount of soybean calories are converted into meat. So a soybean subsidy scales better in the meat industry and makes their product disproportionally cheaper.
- cultofmetatron 1y agoand unfortunatly cows raised on soybeans yields trash quality meat with high amounts of omega 6 vs 3.
- npteljes 1y agoI checked out one resource, and they say that there it's "pea protein isolate" mostly. Whatever the case (I'm sure there are soy patties as well), I think as long as they are not pricing it cheaper than beef, it won't gain widespread adoption. Animals are cute and all but people need an incentive that they can directly feel.
