I bought faux-meat burger patties at an Aussie supermarket recently which were cheaper than the cheapest real-meat products. Was actually really really surprised to see the inflection point was reached.

That's really encouraging to hear. In Amerikkka everything has a thousand middlemen who all want their share. And we use tax money to subsidize wealthy ranchers. So we've got this bizarro situation where a product made from pea powder and some fats is more expensive than dedicating huge swaths of land and labor to raise then murder and butcher animals.
