    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.

      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.

      I did not say that. Do not put it in quotes because that is not what I said.

      I said:

      I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.

      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.
