    Don’t know in the US, but in Canada I buy meat on sale when it hits the same price as tofu so I don’t get what you mean…

      Meat replacement to me is like Beyond or Impossible. Those are the most meat like, taste like vs tofu or soy or black bean etc… Those are the options that if they were priced the same or less, at least I would buy without a 2nd guess, and Id addume more people wiuld too. I have yet to find a tofu or soy or whatever alt style that really makes me 2nd guess if I’m eating meat or not.

        Depends what you’re using it for, “ground” your tofu by hand and use it instead of ground beef in a bolognese and honestly you won’t miss the beef

          Seitan or TVP are probably better as a ground beef substitute and also fairly cheap… but that only really works for heavily seasoned applications like tacos or bolognese.
