Last time I looked into plant based. Like pea and rice protein. It was expensive af. Like double the price of whey per pound. Don’t know about soy pricing.

Both of those (pea and rice) are just starchy AF before processing. My best guess is that isolating pea/rice protein is a real bitch to pull off since most of it isn't protein to begin with. Soy should be cheaper but that might be changing here real soon...

Idk about protien, but vegan food is typically 30% cheaper than the standard American diet.

Kind of surprised, but that is really cool.

I'd be fine with being slightly less strong on a plant based diet

Fortunately that's not the case

Have you ever considered how many times you've thought "no shit" in response to something completely wrong?
