I went vegan 2 years ago, and my husband is not, and that's hard, especially for a pair of foodies that used to share everything and eat out a lot.

Is it cheaper to be vegan than being omnivorous?

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It found that in high-income countries:

Vegan diets were the most affordable and reduced food costs by up to one third.

• Vegetarian diets were a close second.

• Flexitarian diets with low amounts of meat and dairy reduced costs by 14%.

• By contrast, pescatarian diets increased costs by up to 2%.

Compared to meat eaters, results show that “true” vegetarians do indeed report lower food expenditures

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0921800915301488?via%3Dihub ---(looking at the US)

Based on primary data (n = 1040) collected through an online survey, representative of the Portuguese population, through logistic regressions, it was possible to conclude that plant-based consumers, particularly vegan, are associated with lower food expenditures compared to omnivorous consumers. In fact, plant-based consumers are shown to spend less than all other consumers assessed

Good cheese is expensive, I can say that much

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Good anything is expensive. NGL I hate how overpriced everything is

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

True, but did you ever have some proper Beaufort? Comté? Abondance? Reblochon? Morbier? Cantal?

[-] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I know this is weird but it's funny seeing so many french cheese/town names on an english forum

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You ever had Gruyère? Stuff is the bomb

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah it is

Depends on your region. Meat is never affordable from the supermarket and in-city but in areas with an active local fishing industry for an example, fish can be one of the most cost efficient sources of nutrients if you purchase them directly. Saved my life when I was going through poverty.

One should note that vegetarians exist and those tend to be (generally) more affordable due to having a bigger variety in choice while also cutting out the expensive meats. Also generally more accessible than a vegan lifestyle, is not suiting every person's metabolism. I'm now a vegetarian purely because meat is unaffordable to me currently (I moved away so no more cheap fish)

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Is that a reference to something? Feel like I saw a post like that but can't remeber lol

[-] BonfireOvDreams@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Could be the 'becky lemme smash' vids with the Raven. There's older origins but its probably from that.

[-] insurgenRat@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Literally a dude hit me up with that once. That's all I know.

Just since you're looking for a vegan and it's such a winning line hahahaha

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I suppose that's technically still a reference to something just a reference to something you experienced

[-] insurgenRat@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

haha got me I suppose?

[-] jungekatz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

[-] FIST_FILLET@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

there’s still time for you to delete this

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

All of the idiots I’ve ever met were meat eaters.

[-] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

i think this is technically true for me, but only because I don't know any other vegans

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Need to find myself a vegan to eat my meat 👈😉👈
Jokes aside, I do try to eat less meat and I think having a partner you can share that with makes that a lot easier.
