A distinction without a difference. Let's subsidize legumes and plant-based products to the same level animal-based parts are subsidized and see which one is cheaper.

The CPI changes the basket of goods all the time, and I've long suspected the degradation in food quality keeps hitting a lower bar for food processing and quality, which then gets integrated as the permanent price floor as the money supply grows. Margins become too low on anything but shit tier food.

Beyond isn't cheap. It's super expensive. I don't really get the appeal, but I've never really eaten corpses so that's probably why.
