I've actually seen vegans dispute that. I have no problem with veganism. It is not a bad idea. I don't eat meat, but I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.
But I have seen that.
That’s an urban myth as the whole foods plant-based diet is 30% cheaper and it’s only the prepackaged supermarket vegan alternatives that are more expensive on average.
There are several products that are more expensive in any diet like waygu steak or decades old wine.

Your paste:
Me:
Either you did not read my post or you ignored it to lecture me anyway. Either way, you are not here in good faith.
I’m only disputing your claim that the “vegan diet is expensive.”
Claiming the vegan diet is expensive when a comprehensive study by Oxford on the topic says otherwise necessitates reexamining the claim.
I did not say that. Do not put it in quotes because that is not what I said.
I said:
Because we're fucking poor.
Also there's this issue: https://lemmy.world/post/18940775
Believe it or not, the plant-based version of Ensure is a lot more expensive and I'd like to not starve to death if it's all the same to you.
Maybe learn a little about a person before pointing fingers, especially when they're on your side.
That's study doesn't cover people who have some or all of their food subsidized or provided for free, people who hunt fish or trap for their food, nor those who raise their own. it covers nobody who is working poor, only people who pay full retail price for all their food.
