- xenospn 1y agoActual meat is highly subsidized. There’s no way for them to compete on price alone. That was never going to be the case.
- zahlman 1y agoThey're using protein (the generally expensive part of food) from peas, beans and rice. All of these are gram-for-gram much cheaper (definitely less than half the cost, maybe closer to a quarter) protein sources than ground beef (at my local retail).
