Climate activism has intensified in the past few years as the planet warms to dangerous levels, igniting more extreme heat, floods, storms and wildfires around the world.
I know most plant food is cheaper than meat and that is true in almost all countries. That’s because dry beans and grains are shelf stable and no meat is unless it has been processed which further drives up its price.
The fact is you don’t want to make the change and that is fine but understand every excuse you are making here, except the bit about time, is simply not true on any level.
No it isn’t a red herring. You claimed vegetarian diets are more expensive and that is not true on any level in any country that does not heavily subsidize meat (and even most that do).
You are trying and failing to come up with reasons why you can ignore my claims and there is no logical basis for you to do so because they are true
Except people around the world manage to do this
many people still cannot afford it, no matter how your arrange the facts.
If they can afford ground beef at $4/lb why can’t they afford things that are much cheaper?
many people get meat for free or heavily subsidized.
money isn’t the only cost, there is also the matter of time. no amount of money saving would add more time to my day.
You can cook ahead of time. Go ask any single vegan how it works.
you have no idea whether that is time I can afford, or anyone else.

your rant about whether beans are cheaper is a red herring. it has nothing to do with what I’m saying, nor does your speculation about my motives.

Many of the poorer people can’t really afford beef regularly, it’s more of a once-a-year-treat. Source: Used to be very poor when I was a kid.
