i wish those who are claiming vegan diet isn’t healthy and expensive would post their meal plans and shopping list so we can see what they eat.
In the house, I eat pretty much 100% vegan and it’s healthy, nutritious and relatively inexpensive. I bet it’s more balanced, more vegetables and more pulses than the meat eaters and probably cheaper though I caveat the final part as weirldy, bad, processed vegan food is expensive. Bad, processed meat food is cheap.
I’m doing the shopping tonight for the next 8 dinners so I’ll post the plan once I’ve finished it.
When buying whole foods , meat will always be more expensive than veggies. My meat is bought online from a reputable farm as I prefer to buy grass reared Beef / organic chicken and it's really not cheap.
Price I'm willing to pay for better quality meat that comes from cows that are grown for much longer and fed nothing but grass (no soy feed at all) and allowed to graze outside. Chickens again are allowed to roam outside and are grown longer with no soy feeds.
I eat a lot of eggs and again at £2 per 6 for eggs from my local farm (again no soy feed and chickens are allowed to graze naturally outside), it's not cheap.
Due to being on a low carb diet I can only eat green veggies, so for me it's mostly cauliflower, spinach, salad leaves (fond of rocket) and broccoli.
I buy a mixture of nuts for high fat snacks and in the form of dairy I only eat mozzarella / brie and double cream.
I don't eat much processed meat at all - the odd little bit of chorizo to add flavour but that's about it.
