How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

I like cheap and accessible plant-based alternatives. But this doesn't really sound like that. It's much closer to "now the poor people have to eat weeds lol"
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.
Oh waow much edgy
Like calling regular food “weeds”.
Much like how the use of quotes indicates that I am not referring to myself as laughing at the impoverished, I am not referring to myself as calling plant-based food weeds. It is, if you can believe it, a mockery of the wealthy elite.
