Vegan food is literally the cheapest food in the world.

Notice a correlation?

Yes, in Africa the main source of protein is not meat. It also shows everywhere else in the world it is. However, vegan == vegetable based. In Africa, milk is a staple source of fat and protein. But don't let facts get in the way of your bourgeoise assumptions.

Here, from your sources.

Using your reasoning not eating meat stunts child development. Notice a correlation? /s

Pink means "more meat per person" on top chart tho?

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, so the richer the country the more meat, and the poorer the country the less meat. Ergo eating vegetables is cheaper than eating meat.

there could be a thousand confounding factors. you probably oversimplified

It’s not enough to just claim this. You’ve got to actually explain how they oversimplified

It could be that in wealthy countries it is cheaper to consume meat due to factors like subsidization. Or, as I said, a thousand other factors.

You still pay for subsidies. You might not pay for it at the grocery store, but whenever the government is handing out money, that's coming from the people, indirectly or not

If its less money out of one's bank then the subsidies are a secondary consideration if they're considered at all
