Carbs are cheap, easier to store, package and sell. Part of the reason they are pushing hard on veganism. When refined it's empty calorie though so it ends up more expensive per nutrient in this case. Non-refined carbs are more expensive but still less nutrient dense than meat and you need b12 supplements. Nothing's perfect.
