i actually kinda like the impossible burger/beyond meat burger. But... somehow, plain old ground beef is like 1/5 the price. Seriously. The technology is supposed to use less farmland and produce less waste and all that... but it's literally 5x the price at the supermarket.
In many countries, meat is subsidized.
