I imagine that that difference is going mostly to recoup R&D costs at e.g. Impossible right now, who is making the patties.

Could also be due to scaling costs and farming subsidies on meat vs the plants used in Impossible Burgers.

for now I expect you're correct. But in the long run it should ideally have really nice margins. Once Beyond and Impossible get a version that is as close as it needs to be, they can start focusing on supply chain and stuff like that.

Agree w/ you & GP, and I suspect that the parent of my reply is actually correct. I just didn't think the linked article supported the claim.
