You can tell it's bourgeoise because it thinks paying extra 50-100% for alternatives is a choice and not a consequence of the lack of political will. The bourgeoise's children are the death of left idealism as they contaminate the movement with nonsense that detracts from the class struggle.
Vegan food is literally the cheapest food in the world.
Notice a correlation?
Pink means "more meat per person" on top chart tho?
Yes, so the richer the country the more meat, and the poorer the country the less meat. Ergo eating vegetables is cheaper than eating meat.
there could be a thousand confounding factors. you probably oversimplified
It’s not enough to just claim this. You’ve got to actually explain how they oversimplified
It could be that in wealthy countries it is cheaper to consume meat due to factors like subsidization. Or, as I said, a thousand other factors.
You still pay for subsidies. You might not pay for it at the grocery store, but whenever the government is handing out money, that's coming from the people, indirectly or not
If its less money out of one's bank then the subsidies are a secondary consideration if they're considered at all
Yes, in Africa the main source of protein is not meat. It also shows everywhere else in the world it is. However, vegan == vegetable based. In Africa, milk is a staple source of fat and protein. But don't let facts get in the way of your bourgeoise assumptions.
Here, from your sources.
Using your reasoning not eating meat stunts child development. Notice a correlation? /s
What are you on about.
It sounds like your saying vegan sausages distract from building class consciousness. Surely not, because that sounds as dumb as a bag of bricks.
We're all too broke to be spend 50-100% more on vegan food when we are stuck in a capitalist hellscape.
Eating is a need, eating ethically is a nice idea when rent/mortgage, utilities aren't taking up 70-80% of people's paychecks.
And ironically, THIS is the most bourgeois take. As if being vegan means buying beyond everything at Whole Foods 🙄
I can buy a $1.70 bag of mixed beans, throw it in the instant pot with $4 of veggies, and have enough food for most of a week. What are you on about?
I have news for you about what kind of food makes up the bulk of the diet of the vast majority of the global working class
