I grew up in india where eating meat was considered both a sin and way too expensive for working class families to afford regularly. So whenever anyone tells me this argument, I just laugh.

Even here in the SStates, a vegan diet is objectively cheaper. It cracks me up because every time I see the argument to the contrary, it's some knucklehead bringing up Impossible and other plant-based meat substitutes. Like, I still eat those but those are more treats than anything else. Tofu, TVP, and beans are super cheap, and absolutely loaded with protein.

A lb of Tofu is about $2.15 where I am at, and a lb of ground beef is about $5-6. I mean, I can get a 25 lb bag of dried beans for like $15. It lasts forever.
