Same. I feel like vegans are being taken advantage of. Soy and oat and other grain based replacements for animal products should be dirt cheap. They’re marketing to hipsters and pricing accordingly. So all that shit about the economy and whatnot? Marketing trash. Make that shit cost what it should and way more people would buy it. Especially with everything going up.

Not sure about soy beans, but you can buy a lot of beans very cheaply. Oats are also very cheap. Processed foods are always going to cost more, and probably suck. Make your own, meat or vegan it’s going to be better for you, tastier, or both.

You don’t have to buy such products when you are vegan but personally I’d rather be taken advantage of than have non-human animals be taken advantage of and in a much more severe way. People really get thrown off at the slightest inconvenience when it affects them…

I feel like vegans are being taken advantage of Eh, maybe at the beginning when you haven’t adjusted and are looking for one to one replacements for meat. After a while though you just get used to beans and lentils, which are dirt cheap, and tofu and eat more of those then the fake meat products.
