Meat is really not that expensive compared to even simple vegetables.

Most simple salads are actually more expensive than chicken (boneless thighs, ground meat) per kg!

If you compare the price per kcal, as one really should, the difference becomes absurd.

There are more food options than meat or salads.

Citing salads and leafy greens as the alternative to meat is a common strawman, but there are more food options than those two extremes.

Maraconi and potatoes are cheaper, I grant you that.
