What's y'all's thoughts?

69¢ a pound difference, and that stopped you? How many pounds were you going to buy? I hope the delivery truck has a lift gate and they bring a pallet jack.

I've had veggie burgers before, and they were reasonably tasty.

I wouldn't (today) buy any fake meat. If I want meat, I'll eat meat. But there's nothing wrong with fake meat in a pinch. I think I've had a "boca burger" and I think I've had a "garden burger". I think the garden burger (rice, beans, onions and lots of spices, I think) was better than the boca burger. I think it's because we used to go to a place that didn't have beef. I'd get a chili cheese burger, and despite neither the chili or the burger containing beef, it was pretty tasty (real cheese, IIRC).

I suppose it's better than pink slime.

Then there's the lab grown synthetic meat.
