Because that's a short-sighted perspective. Production costs are not the same as consumer costs.

Yea meat is being heavily subsidised to bring the cost down, but in reality you pay with your tax money. Also plant based stuff is differently taxed (at least here in germany). Cow milk has a 7% tax and soy milk 19%. There is so much groing wrong because of lobbying by the meat companies.

Meat is just an extra costly step to produce the food we consume. Instead you could just skip that part and it would be less expensive.
