how did the cost compare to meat?


Environmental, ethical, or dollar cost?


Dollar cost. I'd love to switch away from beef burgers for a health and ethical reason, but can't justify a $15 burger when most burgers at a nice restaurant are $10 where I live.


thanks. yes. that's what i was wondering about.


I'm curious about the environmental cost myself.


just the simple dollar cost


Two 1/4 lb. frozen patties are around $6. I've never been a fan of veggie burgers, but these really do taste excellent and the nutrition profile is great.


I think the patties were sold in pairs at Whole Foods for about $8, so $4 a piece. Kind of steep but in a world where people pay $9 a serving for BlueApron seems competitive enough.
