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

Good cheese is expensive, I can say that much
Good anything is expensive. NGL I hate how overpriced everything is
True, but did you ever have some proper Beaufort? Comté? Abondance? Reblochon? Morbier? Cantal?
I know this is weird but it’s funny seeing so many french cheese/town names on an english forum
You ever had Gruyère? Stuff is the bomb
Hell yeah it is
I mean I suppose things are cheaper if you cut out 85% of a normal diet and replace it all with vegetables.
What normal diet is 85% animal products ??? Even the SAD is not that high… I hope?
Bread, cheese/milk, meat, those are the big three. You’d be surprised how much you eat animal products in a standard diet.
Bread is not an animal product nor are most types of bread typically made with any animal products additives
No the big three are proteins, carbs and fat. Only proteins are animal based on omnivore diets. Therefore you just need to replace them.
Sorry, I meant big three as in the three big ones that involve animal products.
Tbh meat in general is overpriced when eggs and dairy are perfect substitutes. I only ever eat meat when I’m traveling and need a quick option.
Vegan diets replace eggs and dairy with vegetables
Vegetarians exist.
