      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.

          you probably oversimplified

          It’s not enough to just claim this. You’ve got to actually explain how they 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.

              You still pay for subsidies. You might not pay for it at the grocery store, but whenever the government is handing out money, that’s coming from the people, indirectly or not

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