If healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, pulses, etc. were subsidised instead of animal products then they’d essentially be free. Affordability is a huge problem, at least here in the UK. Thousands of people use food banks because they’re struggling with the cost of living. vegan btw

Grains and beans being subsidized would be great, but it would probably make them negative in price. You'd get paid to get them from a store.

People who think that "vegan diet" or "plant based diet" means "you eat mostly fruits and veggies" are simply and dangerously wrong.

Yup. Eating delicate greens all the time like on cooking shows would be great, but that's some bougie shit I can barely dream of. I'm not about to set a print record but I still have a better than average diet, and it tastes good.
