    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?

        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.
