Morning Star veggie burgers and black bean burgers are super cheap, tasty and a direct affront to the Christian religion.
They're a subsidiary of Kellanova, owned by Mars. Not exactly the small indie lefty company I was expecting. There also is no real MorningStar farms, or family, or group behind them.
They're about as anti-christian as your average desk chair and about as offensive.
It's about the name, not the actual company.
That part was a joke...
Oh!
haha?
Super cheap? $9.20 for 16 oz from what I'm seeing in my area. Hardly cheap, much less super cheap.
Where I am it's $7.94 for 18.9oz of 8 patties. That's less than a buck per patty making a single non cheesed burger around $1.75. If you don't think that's super cheap then I don't know what to tell you.
Less than 2.5 oz those seem like sliders. Though I wonder maybe they don’t lose as much of their weight during cooking.
And they’ll still charge you $15
They're like 4 for 5 dollars.
What?
It makes you sound ignorant when you claim a common/boring but decent frozen veggie burger available at nearly any grocery store for like $5-7 is some kind of expensive bougie bullshit. Because it's not.
When you compare that 5-7 dollar pack of frozen veg burgers to a pound of ground chuck or an entire ready to eat rotisserie chicken for the same price it's really expensive.
You can argue for vegetarianism without resorting to bad faith bs like insulting people and moving goalposts. There are a lot of good arguments for it. You're not showing up.
Prepackaged veggie burgers are an expensive luxury food. End of.
