Thanks for the reply and links. Thats really interesting! I just restarted eating meats after a 10 year hiatus and apparently i budget meat in the oh-i-feel-fancy-today budget. It seems i misattributed the effect of inflation specifically to veggies. Anyways, here is the table from from Springmann et al 2021 (cited in the oxford link above). I converted 2017 US $ to 2026 EUR (shady, i know) and then to EUR/kg to get a somewhat familiar metric. It seems somewhat plausible:

Note. (in case it might be useful) Table was converted from selection in libreoffice calc to markdown via

$ xclip -out -selection "clipboard" | ./tsv2md.awk | xclip -selection "clipboard"

with ./tsv2md.awk from https://gaultier.github.io/blog/tip_of_day_3.html:

#!/usr/bin/env -S awk -F '\t' -f

{
    printf("|");
    for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) {
        # Note: if a field contains the character `|`,
        # it will mess up the table.
        # In this case, we should replace this character
        # by something else e.g. `,`:
        gsub(/\|/, ",", $i);
        printf(" %s |", $i);
    } 
    printf("\n");
} 

NR==1 { # Output the delimiting line
    printf("|");
    for(i = 1; i <= NF; i++) {
        printf("
***
| ");
    }
    printf("\n");
}

Inflation is actually significantly higher on many animal products, so the gap is almost certainly stronger than that study too

Partially because of problems everyone has been warning about that the industry around the world has happily ignored in order to keep growing. For instance, for beef, drought related to climate change has been a big factor. For various different types of meat because of disease which these system help create and spread

And increases to plant prices affect meat more because meat production inherently requires more plants for feed (it takes a lot of feed per farm animal since most of the feed energy is lost)
