That's true. But I'm willing to bet it's also because it's less affordable.
While it feels weird to argue that something should be more expensive, I think it’s best that meat is treated like a luxury for special occasions.
Meat is inherently an expensive process, and it was only ever cheap because the cost was paid elsewhere—mostly by horrible conditions for animals & human workers and environmental destruction.
Except the opposite is true by all accounts assuming you aren't eating fancy meat substitutes all the time.
The opposite?
A vegan diet is dramatically cheaper than a diet with a significant amount of meat, assuming you aren't eating expensive meat substitutes
Aaaah ok I get it. Thanks for the explanation.
