So I shop around to get some bits and pieces for a good home made meal, and I notice some items say, a pack of vegan burgers, these are more expensive than regular burgers!

I’m not a vegan but I’m curious as to why these items are priced as such, it’s a bit of a pain for people who can only eat gluten free food as those items are priced high too. The bread we get for me grandpapa is pricey for what you get.

Is it different production methods that make it pricey? You’d think with healthier, easier to get ingredients would be cheaper than producing regular non vegan items.

    People with Cron’s or celiac would beg to differ on the gluten free part. But, yes scale and other factors definitely matter

      That’s not “healthier” in the general sense, that’s like saying peanuts aren’t healthy because some people have allergies to them.

      Gluten isn’t inherently not healthy because a sub set of the population can’t process it correctly.
