In Germany this is simply not true.

All supermarket chains, at least in the cities, now have a considerate selection of plant based meat and it sells like bread. Yes, it is sadly more expensive than real meat for now.

Still -- vegan burger patties are regularly sold out.

Can confirm, but would add that "more expensive" depends on the exact brand and what kind of meat you compare it to. Even the more expensive faux meat products are often cheaper or very comparable to their organic counterparts. But if you take for example the supermarket brand version of the products, they are often around 33% cheaper than products from gourmet garden oder beyond. Protip: Ikea sells frozen meat ball alternatives. They are SO good and pretty cheap.

Same in Switzerland. The selection has grown considerably over the last years.

Same in the US. It's never been easier to be veg.
