What stops you from growing more peas?

 

[Bogweevil]

Just think of the market from all those vegans feasting on decorticated pea protein pressed into something the credulous might call a burger

Feed them (the peas) to the cattle and make a proper burger.

Oh no, what are consumers going to replace it with?

It was a unique experience, buying a 'raw' ultra processed goop ingredient that already looked like it had been eaten the day before.
And no mention of peas on the ingredients list, just lots of that Vegan livestock feeding nightmare: soya.
