    I live in SA. This ismisinformation. Its absolutely cheaper to buy plant based meat alternatives (beans) than to buy dead animals here.

      I just checked. It’s not as exaggerated as I put it, but in general it holds up.

      Check the price per kilo.

      The most expensive are the Not Meat burgers, which are kinda similar to Beyond Meat.

      The cheapest are the soy+meat.

      Second cheapest are the beans/lentils patties, which while tasty, they’re nothing like a real burger. I didn’t even mentioned them in my previous comment.

      The full meat burgers are about 30% cheaper than the Not Meat (plant based) burgers.

      Accusing others of misinformation, and saying dead animals instead of meat, pushes people away and hurts your argument, btw.
