WAPC farming campaign manager Lynn Kavanaugh discusses data showing that many chain restaurants are falling behind on plant-based items.Subscribe to CTV News...
I always assumed that vegans wouldn’t ho in a McDonald’s for example to begin with, so a vegan option would be kinda useless. I didn’t eat at McDonald’s before i was vegan, and i wouldn’t go there if they had an amazing vegan option
I would happily eat an Impossible Burger or Beyond Burger, they’re pretty decent burgers! I’m also a cheapskate, and don’t like paying extra for essentially the same thing.
Considering that the inherent resources it takes to make a meat patty are in theory greater than resources it takes to make a vegetable based patty, why am I expected to pay a premium for the vegetable based patty?
There are some factors such as scaling and capital costs, but fundamentally, I think they charge more the vegetable based patties because it’s some sort of “virtue”. Be that as it may, virtue doesn’t pay my mortgage.
If vegetable based patties were even 10¢ cheaper than an equivalent meat patty, I’m thinking they’d be much much more popular. Times are tough, people got to pay rent, these Impossible Meat/Beyond Meat burgers are delicious, and less resource intensive. Let’s get this sorted! Do we really need some government interference in the market?
These products are not for vegans, they are for carnists with a guilty conscience, who want to obtain the moral license to feel better about their cruelty and violence.
All of them. Probably because they don’t sell well. I know you saw them everywhere and now I don’t.
