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.

    Indeed. My guess is that @AdNecrias@lemmy.pt speaks a germanic language where the English word ‘organic’ translates to ‘biological’

      Latin one! And in this context in Portuguese, yeah they do translate to that.

      But we still see both labels being used, sometimes in the same product. I’m saying label here because I don’t think what companies use the word as and what it actually means aligns.
