Yeah, this is such a bizarre position, so detached from the reality of what rice and beans, lentils, chick peas etc. cost.
I enjoy some vegan prepared products like steaks etc. But fried rice with veggies and cashews or tofu (or both of you’re feeling flush) is hardly a bank breaker.

Vegan food is literally the cheapest food in the world.
Notice a correlation?
Pink means “more meat per person” on top chart tho?
Yes, so the richer the country the more meat, and the poorer the country the less meat. Ergo eating vegetables is cheaper than eating meat.
OH I thought you were saying those countries are poorer because they eat meat for a second lmao I was about to lose my faith humanity my bad.
there could be a thousand confounding factors. you probably oversimplified

It could be that in wealthy countries it is cheaper to consume meat due to factors like subsidization. Or, as I said, a thousand other factors.

If its less money out of one’s bank then the subsidies are a secondary consideration if they’re considered at all

What are you on about.
It sounds like your saying vegan sausages distract from building class consciousness. Surely not, because that sounds as dumb as a bag of bricks.
We’re all too broke to be spend 50-100% more on vegan food when we are stuck in a capitalist hellscape.
Eating is a need, eating ethically is a nice idea when rent/mortgage, utilities aren’t taking up 70-80% of people’s paychecks.
I can buy a $1.70 bag of mixed beans, throw it in the instant pot with $4 of veggies, and have enough food for most of a week. What are you on about?
I have news for you about what kind of food makes up the bulk of the diet of the vast majority of the global working class

And ironically, THIS is the most bourgeois take. As if being vegan means buying beyond everything at Whole Foods 🙄
