    When the vegetable meat costs more than the animal meat, I can feel the “I’m being ripped off”. Make fake meat cheaper than real meat and I’ll eat it all day long.

      Animal meat is subsidized heavily, plant meat is not. All we’d have to do is stop subsidizing animal agriculture and start subsidizing more plant alternatives.

      I don’t know why this is downvoted. It seems perfectly reasonable to me as someone who has managed to cut most of the meat out of my diet. We definitely need affordable alternatives. Real meat is cheaper right now and that is the deciding factor for a lot of people.

      Hopefully we will see this change soon.

      I wouldn’t say I’d feel ripped off, but for my broke ass, cost is probably the most heavily weighed feature of my food. Ethical and ecological concerns come in 2nd. To really push consumers toward meat alternatives, those alternatives need to, at the very least, cost the same as meats.
