thing is that you're completely ignoring how culturally important meat is to a lot of people, and how much easier it is to cook a very tasty and nutritious meal with meat.

sure, rice and beans is cheaper, but you need to eat other things too and to most people "rice and beans" sounds like abject misery.

You can't just say "go vegan" as if that's just a switch you flip, the easy vegan alternatives are expensive and the cheap ones aren't easy.
If you want people to go vegan, start producing cheap and easy vegan food that is indistinguishable from non-vegan stuff, we have a small amount of such products here and it's helped me eat less meat.

Even if you are right that going 100% vegan is difficult for most people, going 95% vegan is not, and the impact on the climate would be nearly the same.

Not to mention it's only barely more sustainable than Breatharianism unless you're taking a ton of supplements.

I've been a vegan for 18 years. I'm a little chubby because I can't afford the gym lately but I haven't taken supplements in 10+ years. Between cultured vegan yogurt, nutritional yeast, and seaweed it's not really necessary anymore.

You literally do not need vegan meat substitutes. And if you do want or need them, there are plenty alternatives that cost pretty much the same. I can only speak for Germany, but eating meat would be plenty more expensive. Not even touching on vegetables that are super cheap compared to meat, and are way more nutritious, and don't clog up your arteries

congratulations on literally just ignoring what i wrote and instead just preaching about your own superiority!
