    Climate friendly meat is a black bean burger

    A recent study published in Global Food Security, for instance, shows that humble legumes, with the right government push, could provide a far more sustainable and diverse source of protein than meat

      i’m still bummed the humble black bean burger (usually no extra charge) has been replaced by beyond/impossible (usually a $1-3 upcharge) at so many restaurants.

        The thing that I hate the most about it is it’s the same fucking price at the grocery store, but somehow that equates to a 40% more expensive burger. Meat is ungodly expensive nowadays such that my partner and I opt for meat substitutes because it’s often cheaper and we prefer them anyway.

        I understand economies of scale, and that they’re buying less of it so they’re gonna be paying a little more, but $3 per 8oz burger is absurd. Burger places have lost their goddamn minds when there’s often way better ramen noodles next door for half the price.
