The "vegan" stuff is "organic." Hence, it costs more. Of course it will be the last items on the shelf because of market forces. This is a bullshit, deceiving article.
Edit: To clarify, the reason it is on the shelf has nothing to do with anything other than it costs more.

From my own shopping habits, it has little to do with it costing more. I'm not buying fake meat at any price.

I tried it once.
That was enough times. More than enough, really.

You're wrong. Now, take what I say with a grain of salt, since I'm speaking from personal experience, BUT: I did work as an apprentice butcher at a high-end "market" (glorified grocery store) for a few years. Every day, you can still see the rows of porches, mercedes, ferraris, etc, filling up the parking lot. These are the people you'd expect would eat that shit up.
Boy, let me tell you: in the years that I worked there, I can count on one hand the amount of times I saw the meat manager (we were in charge of ordering the vegan stuff; go figure) place an order for said products. Once, he ordered a new box of veggie burgers, 'cause he thought we'd finally run out— it'd been months since he had to. Turned out, someone had moved some boxes around and they got buried in the back of the freezer. Didn't find them until they were a year past their expiry date.
This is the kind of store who's burgers are made out of roasts that look "just a little bit too tired" to be in the display. Lesser grocery stores would kill to have that type of meat in stock, even if it's slightly browned— this place would toss rib-eyes and tenderloins in to the ground as if it were filler. No vegan product cost more than the meat— the antibiotic/hormone-free / grass-fed steaks' purchase-price would make a hipster blush and clutch his mushrooms.
Wanna know something that I chuckled to myself about, the other day? Well, I still shop there. At the height of the local panic-buying spree: they still struggled to move any vegan product whatsoever. They were, however, out of anything involving a beef rib primal, whole birds, and bacon. Here's a little-known secret that I'll fill you in on: most grocery stores sell vegan products just to say they do. None of them want to be the only place that doesn't carry any. But most people, even the rich ones, don't give a fuck.
tl;dr: fuck you, you lazy cunt.
