I agree. A good first step would be to figure out how to align the markets with the needs of the ecosystems that support those markets. It's hard to get excited about going vegan when that can of lentil soup costs the same as a can of beef stew despite one being 10x more energy intensive to create. Are you really reducing demand for meat or are you just making making meat cheaper for everyone else?

You're right that many foods, processed ones, are much more expensive than animal based ones despite them being more energy and land resource intensive. But most vegan foods are the cheapest ones in the supermaket ... I mean raw rice, beans, lentils, vegetables. If you cook that soup yourself, it won't cost more than a bag of lentils, 1-2 onions, veggie stock, few potatoes, salt, pepper, and 20 minutes in pressure cooker (I've done it today :) Delicious too, and you've got 5l of soup for ... 3 USD?
