This is something I don't get.
Over here it's cheaper to be vegetarian (not vegan) because of the absurd meat prices. Meat is unironically unaffordable where I live unless I happen to visit the fish market next town over.
It's just the ultra-processed fake meat they're whining about.
Actual food that simply doesn't include meat is still cheaper.
Oh yeah 100% I'm whining about like the fake meat at like restaurants always costing more than the real meat.
But a pound of black beans/lentils are WAY cheaper than beef and have more calories/protein.
Veggies and fruits are absurdly cheap here in the US. It's not hard nor expensive to eat healthy.
