    Flashy PlantBasedBeyondBurgerThatWillSuckYourDick(TM) is still marketed for fancy boys only, but texturized soy protein has been ridiculously cheap for decades.

      soy chorizo is pretty good and cheap! I found it in the store and have wondered why I don't hear much talk about soy protein

      I'm not saying they're worth the price or even great for the environment by themselves just that the video feels like a hit job.

      Green capitalism is never gonna save planet.

      Where can I get it? TSP and TVP are not available in any of the grocery stores within an hour drive of me, and it's like $10+ per pound on amazon

        One US dollar per kg, soak it in water and you have like 5 kg of fake "minced meat", being an agricultural colony in the global periphery has its benefits :thonk-cri:

          Literally calling your supermarket "Free Market" :che-laugh: what level of capitalist realism is this?

          Also there are tons of farmers near me that grow soy but all of it goes to animal feed or gets exported as high-end food products to Asia. I literally cannot buy soy products grown in my province anywhere I could reasonably walk, bike, or drive.

        If you have like a dry bulk store around, that's probably the ticket. It shouldn't be even close to thar expensive, it usually cheap af.
