OK, so I'm a woman with two kids and a husband, on one income, and money is very tight, needless to say. What I'm wondering is, why won't manufacturers of vegetarian food (Morningstar Farms, Boca, etc.) make their foods more "price friendly"? The same could be said for organic foods. Apparently it's better for you, but people like me can't afford it. For example: A 2 lb. bag of Banquet chicken nuggets is roughly $3.50 on sale. A tiny 8 oz. box of Morningstar farms veggie chick'n nuggets is $3.00. A coworker let me try one of her veggie nuggets, and really--I think it's better than the meat variety, but with the number of chicken nuggets my two toddlers eat, I can't afford it. Why can't they make them more affordable? Surely it can't cost THAT much more to harvest/process vegetables versus meat. Can someone please tell me why? They tell you don't eat meat--it's unhealthy for you, yet when you buy the vegetable based products, they're SO expensive. Help!
