No vegans dispute this.

I’ve actually seen vegans dispute that. I have no problem with veganism. It is not a bad idea. I don’t eat meat, but I do not have the willpower (or the money) to be a vegan.

But I have seen that.

(or the money) to be a vegan.

That’s an urban myth as the whole foods plant-based diet is 30% cheaper and it’s only the prepackaged supermarket vegan alternatives that are more expensive on average.

There are several products that are more expensive in any diet like waygu steak or decades old wine.

Oxford University research has today revealed that, in countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and across Western Europe, adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.

Your paste:

adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.

Me:

I don’t eat meat

Either you did not read my post or you ignored it to lecture me anyway. Either way, you are not here in good faith.

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.
