"Either way you still have to work harder" Since the production of meat uses up more resources (energy) than plant based food, I think your claim does not hold up. It is easier to produce plant based food, so why should it be harder to buy plant based food? I also doubt that you automatically eat healthy by simply adding meat to your diet.
