Chinese buyers booked at least 10 cargoes of Argentine soybeans after Buenos Aires scrapped grain export taxes, three traders said on Tuesday, dealing another setback to U.S. farmers already shut out of their top market and hit by low prices.

Actually, these tariffs could be the thing that turn impossible burgers into the mainstream. Could you imagine if an impossible burger dropped substantially below a beef burger? You won’t have to imagine it soon.
You mean when a beef burgers gets more expensive? Ah, the illusion of “dropping” below beef burgers.
Can confirm, it tastes “good enough” to me that if it were the cheaper alternative I’d default to it.
For fucking real! I got some when it was on clearance and it could’ve fooled me. I also kinda liked Boca burgers way back in the day when my mom used to keep the freezer stocked with them.
I don’t know what sort of protein they’re using, it might not be soy based. But this does mean Dirt Cheap tofu that they’d be selling at a loss just to get rid of all the soybeans. You could also end up with warehouses full of soy protein isolate that needs to go somewhere which could be a very cheap source for a lot of things for years to come
Don’t know what happened with Just Eggs when real eggs were super expensive. What stopped them the past 5 years from scaling production to really take advantage of the peak egg prices
I tried some last week for the first time, and it is borderline a food crime. I was making some home made mcmuffins and tried them side by side with real eggs. It might be okay if it’s consumed with other ingredients like a breakfast burrito, maybe, but on its own or where it can stand out, just no.
I’m happy that it’s there for those willing to try or on a restricted diet/vegan lifestyle, but it would not sell as a direct egg replacement for regular folk in my opinion.
As long as their macronutrient profile resembles beef (ie. near to no carbs); I’d happily switch over!
