No but like seriously, why are vegan and vegetarian options always MORE expensive at restaurants. Whenever I cook my self, the meat is BY FAR the most expensive part of any meal. Meanwhile stuff like soy strips are DIRT CHEAP, not to mention they last basically forever!
The canteen I go to for lunch actually sells the meatless meals for 2/3 of the price, always a taunting reminder. Like hell yea, that’s how ya convert me!
Having heard that vegan is better my whole life, I’m convinced that it will only get subsidized/better logistics when the price of meat goes up.
And the price of meat going up will just make people into red hats angry that their burgers got taken away by the left.
Many of MAGAs don’t even understand that much of the beef industry already has subsidies. From the farm, to the feed, to even the price of beef itself.
But these subsidies aren’t doing much to keep the price of beef down.
Absolutely, this study from Berkeley from 2014 said beef should be $30 / lb, without subsidies. Inflation-adjusted (with caveats), it’d be ~$40 / lb today.
