sorry for the confusion. a frozen package containing just two 4 oz Beyond Burger patties cost us $6.00. i.e. we paid $3.00 for each one quarter pound Beyond Burger.

so, if you can find hamburger meat for less than $12 a pound, you're paying less than we paid for Beyond Burgers.

This would reverse overnight in the US if we redirected our agricultural subsidies.

You can buy pasture-raised / grass-fed ground beef from Australia, and US-raised ground bison, in US supermarkets for $9-10 per pound, so no, it wouldn't. Even for cheap corn- and soy-fed CAFO-raised meat, agricultural subsidies lower the cost by a negligeable fraction.
