Is it cheaper to be vegan than being omnivorous?

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

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

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

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

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 (1 children)

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

[–] insurgenRat 2 points 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.
