[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 7549372, member: 11374"] You’re talking about ‘equivalent’ pricing as if they’re equivalent products, but meat and dairy alternatives are usually inferior in taste and nutrition. Take Quorn as an example, made by propagating the Fusarium Venenatum fungus in vast vertical stainless steel tanks by sparging a gas through a chemical soup, before heating the fibrous mush to reduce the excessive ribonucleic acid, and adding in egg white and palm oil. The resultant product has little taste, and the consistency of cold puke. The Monde Nissin corporation price it to maximise their profits, not because they care about the planet or any green ideals beyond the colour of money. If that wasn’t the case they wouldn’t be using palm oil and contributing towards deforestation and habitat destruction. But as long as Mo Farah tells the public they’re ‘saving the planet’ they’ll be guilt tripped into buying the synthetic ultra processed goop, and feeding it to their kids. [/QUOTE]
