Most vegans I know are students that live on a very tight budget. The notion that it is expensive to eat vegan is so ridiculous. Sure if you want to eat only beyond burgers or something like that it might be expensive, but nobody does that. Beans, rice, veggies, fruit, there is nothing expensive about that. Sure you don't get heavily subsidized milk for pennies, but you don't realistically need any milk replacements.
As for c, you can do multiple things at once to approach climate change. Especially since they are completly unrelated.
- wickerman 7y agoThat's why I started my post with "in my part of the world". Beef is not that expensive and it's an incredibly efficient source for both calories and protein, both which are essential for say, construction workers. Students don't need to be doing heavy lifting 9 hs a day.
- KitDuncan 7y agoWell beef is heavily subsidized in most of the world as well. Protein is also not an issue on a vegan diet. I got like 5kg of Saitan (isolated wheat protein) for 10€. I cook with it regularly. It's higher in protein than meat and you can do delicious stuff with it. I don't disagree that it's easier for most people to just keep the status quo, but it's definitely not impossible to change.
