    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.

              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

                  “many people still cannot afford it, no matter how your arrange the facts.”

                  When you said that. It’s like your dodge where you talk about the time which billions of people seem to manage.

                  The fact is you are not willing to make the change and that is perfectly fine. No one is saying you have to.

                    it’s not a “dodge”. it’s literally the basis on which i object to your assertion that everyone can be vegan.

                    billions of people

                    i’m not talking about billions of people. i’m saying you can’t say whether any particular person can be vegan.

                    i don’t see why you want to make this personal: i’m talking about bare facts.
