A comparison...

[bucket]

I was doing some limited research into prices of beef compared to Beyond Meat...

Hamburger is about 5 bucks a pound at the store...
Beyond meat patties work out to 17 bucks a pound...

I receive 1.60 a pound for live weight calves around 650 pounds

I receive about 10 cents a pound for my peas...

Just wondering what the **** our advocates are doing with our research funding channeled off our checkoff funding????

Maybe I am just Tupid....

Your math might explain why beyond meat's share price has shown some strength. Also no wonder the food processing industry is so interested in products like beyond meat.

And what's worse is the protein cluster is helping those industries....is that like saying subsidized....those capitalists....Geez....

And yet primary production is forgotten ...they can probably manufacture the peas in a lab now wth a printer....

U Saskatchewan guys have everything tough. I pay 3.00 a lb for hamburger at local coop when it’s on sale quite often.

What are you paying for the Beyond Meat salt burger? Per pound?

I’m a pea grower and hate beyond meat it’s a cheap unhealthy product. A lot of peas went to be added to dog food as a filler product

It’s a filler for dog food.

It’s a filler for make believe meat.

I think it's the protien they're after, could always use soybean meal as the filler and all men could grow tits from soybean's high estrogen content. It's a nongender identifying burger you know. Men could grow boobs in support of women's rights and equality....what better way to show support and compete for quota based job postings.

Omg don’t let truduea read this he ll make it mandatory all men eat this. Then there will be no men and no women just persons. Could be hazardous for anyone drunk at the bar taking someone home and finding a surprise downstairs!!! Lol

Absolutely - the attraction is the potential to turn an even cheaper product into a "retail ready meal solution". Its also an opportunity for folks like Bucket to develop their own ethically produced, local, competitive product. With the right branding you could probably charge $20 a lb made from your 10c/lb peas.
Probably all kinds of Government funding through a protein cluster or hub to initiate a feasibility study and build a small plant.

The hamburger price tells me that the middleman is working on razor thin margins, contrary to popular belief.

The fake meat price tells me that there really is a sucker born every minute.
