Poorly prepared meat leads to food poisoning or being physically inedible, so in a nearly Darwinian selection process, meat either tastes great or you're dead, therefore living people report meat tastes good. Unfortunately for veggies, as long as you put the most minimal effort into washing them, its difficult to die from eating veggies. Therefore there's no "reward" for proper preparation. It'll hit the dinner table and you won't die no matter how bad it tastes. Therefore you end up with borderline inedible food, therefore "I don't like veggies". Growing up my well intentioned mom did inhumane things to brussel sprouts, spinach, eggplant, tomatoes ... stuff that I now like, properly prepared...
The first thing paleo/keto people discover is the real world has seasons and people looking for an excuse not to change will always find the single item in the store today that's the most expensive for this current month and then Demand it be 100% of their food intake. Therefore at $11 per imported organic pound of blueberries from greenhouses in Chile, its a mathematically unaffordable diet because humans can only eat blueberries, so I'm going back to cheap hot pockets and twinkies. I admit I indulge a bit in unhealthy blueberries are in season and locally grown are selling for $1.50 per pound. Being in season only a couple weeks is kind of a natural limiter to that dietary misbehavior. Anyway that is such a stereotypical behavior that when people complain about unaffordability in social media its fun to classify them as blueberries, tenderloin steaks, bacon fiends, etc. I saw a coconut guy posting on the internet one time proving it was unaffordable compared to a diet consisting entirely of big macs, you see all kinds of weird stuff sooner or later.
One interesting point about affordability is the official government diet is pretty cheap, after all, once you die of a heart attack at age 40 and 400 pounds, your food bill tends to drop a bit. If trying to save money is the only priority, corpses don't eat much.
