Good luck to them. Beating McDonald’s prices might not be too hard though, since they haven’t had good prices in over a decade. But if they can be cheaper, I’d try them.
Of course Face Plant is launching in the vegan stronghold Oregon hehe
If they’re cheaper, I’d consider it. After all, it’s not like McDonald’s sells a lot of actual meat. Not going to give up meat, but fast-food vegetables that actually taste decent would be an interesting change.
you’re not the one giving it up.
True, I’m an evolved omnivore who still requires meat proteins to properly function.
Not only is this completely untrue, but a plant-based diet over an omnivorous one comes with multifarious benefits to short- and long-term health.
I’ve actually had some decent vegan fast food. The PLNT Burger chain in the U.S. is tasty, but it’s more expensive than it should be.
I’m lucky enough to have a few good local places with better prices. My local pub (I wish I could shout it out, but it’d reveal my location too specifically) has a few great Impossible options that don’t cost too much.
Plants are cheaper, so it should be cheaper yes
If the food is highly processed (like PLNT’s burgers) then it makes sense that it would be more expensive than animal products as the infrastructure to produce it doesn’t exist on nearly the same scale.
Fortunately great burgers can be made from lightly processed beans
This is true. But in my experience most places selling plant based burgers have gone for the “fake meat” option which, frankly, is unbelievably annoying - at least in the UK (where I am).
