    It is kinda nice that Impossible Steak Bites now costs less per unit of mass than beef does. Going vegetarian starting to make more sense every day…

      That’s good to hear. Given all the inputs into things like beef, plant-based should almost always be cheaper. I’m still irritated when something vegetarian/vegan on the menu is as expensive or even more expensive than the omnivore edition.

      Few things highlight the deep distortions that actual social engineering does to the marketplace as much as that.

      Of course, buying certain ingredients and making plant-based yourself can often be far cheaper than eating out.
