It could also cement their lead, as there's less signalling to be had when eating at home - so fewer reasons to buy "high-status" food - and easier to compare prices and see what that status costs you. The true believers will continue, but will it be easier or harder for that belief to spread?
- ornornor 6y agoBut... not eating meat is an order of magnitude cheaper (most vegetable or tofu don’t cost 20+$/€ per kg) so both incentives are still there: status and much lower cost.
- naavis 6y agoA lot of meat doesn't cost that much either. The cheapest minced meat here in Finland (which is a relatively expensive country) is less than 5€/kg.
