    Ok, I’ll give you a choice!

    1. Eat this food that’s made in a way that causes a lot of environmental problems
    2. Eat this food that’s made by the same company, except it claims it’s vegan, hides the fact it’s the same company by using 10 middle-men, but has great marketing
    3. Eat this actually environmentally friendly food. Wait, scratch that, you’re too poor to actually eat this regularly
    4. Starve to death

    What great choices you have!

      Most vegan and plant based foods are MUCH less expensive unless you are only eating pre-prepared foods. A bag of rice and a bag of beans and some veggies are not expensive at all.

      You seem to not have any of the facts.

        what your suggesting takes time and equipment (and some experience with seasoning). the time alone can make it cost-prohibitive.

              If they can afford ground beef at $4/lb why can’t they afford things that are much cheaper?

                money isn’t the only cost, there is also the matter of time. no amount of money saving would add more time to my day.
