    Meat products are so fucking expensive since 2020 and the vegan meats are now dirt cheap. Even bro types around here that want to save $ are buying vegan. The meat industry is toast without some neoliberal shitwad declaring the product can only be sold to qualifying low income WIC moms who live in economic opportunity zones

      Literally the exact opposite where I live.

      I thought black bean burgers were better than meat burgers even before I went vegan.

      Dominos had a huge scandal back in the 00s because it was using vegan soy cheese instead of the dairy stuff. It made the swap because soy cheese was less expensive. Now vegan cheese is on par if not more expensive... kinda sucks. At least actual tofu and beans are still pretty cheap.

        Really? No vegan cheese I've had could really mimic dairy cheese. What kind were they using?
