I thought your point was to disregard the morality of the diet and focus on the economics?

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

this subthread was about beaver's misleading link.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Their link was addressing the claim that eating vegan is a luxury.

For what the comment was responding to I think it was perfectly well framed, but you can extrapolate anything you want from it if that's your thing.

heir link was addressing the claim that eating vegan is a luxury.

and it did so misleadingly, as being in teh position to always pay full price for food at a store is a luxury.

Not if by 'cost' they meant 'cost', and not 'what they get from the state at no cost'

if i have food, throwing it away and getting more food is more expensive.

The paper wasn't discussing food stamp programs or even what food you might already have

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

right. it's simply not scoped to support the claim tha being vegan is 30% cheaper

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

What they claimed was "a whole foods plant-based diet is 30% cheaper."

Which is factually supported by the study, even if you'd prefer to interpret it to mean something else

...for a limited segment of the population.

It's actually not speaking about the personal costs born by consumers, it's talking about the cost of purchasing food for the diet.

As I said, if the paper was discussing the systemic hurtles and personal choices of consumers it would be a different paper, saying a different thing.
