    what your suggesting takes time and equipment (and some experience with seasoning). the time alone can make it cost-prohibitive.

          If they can afford ground beef at $4/lb why can’t they afford things that are much cheaper?

            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.

                  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.

                    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.
