I always hate when people complain about vegan food being expensive. Yeah, you're essentially paying to have someone cook for you. And often to carefully work with and texture vegetable protein so that it's a close imitation of meat. But if they'd get off their lazy ass and also stop insisting that their non-meat have the exact same feel as meat? Super cheap. I mean I don't even know how much the black bean and shiitake burgers I used to make cost because I got so much out of one batch that it wasn't worth totaling up. But I think it was roughly 25% of what the store brand vegan burgers were by weight.
