Interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ll have to keep paying attention to them. I wish vegan dairy things would get cheaper. Especially since the processes involved in making some of them them often dont seem like they should be that expensive.
Oats are dirt fucking cheap and you can make them into oat milk at home with a blender (I dont have a blender 🥲), why does oat milk cost so much?? I know cows milk is like massively subsidized but part of me feels like its also gotta just be a tax from it being a specialty product, on top of not being a commodity the same way cows milk is.
Dairy has definitely seemed harder to reduce than meat so far, mostly just cause dairy alternatives are just considerably more expensive. Vs like comparing chickpeas/lentils/beans with pork or chicken, where the legumes are just way more affordable
Yeah prices are all over the place. It was a niche market 20+ years ago but now our stores carry so many brands, flavours and textures, that you’d think prices would drop NY the scaling up.
There’s a few items that are so close to the dairy product they emulate that people are fooled when we served it. But too many are just bad substitutes and would do better if they didn’t try to market them as a dairy substitute.
