A recent survey by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Morning Consult found that a majority of US adults incorrectly believe that a plant-based diet is more expensive than one that includes meat and dairy.
The survey, which polled 2,206 US adults between June 10 and June 12, 2025, revealed that more than 60% of respondents share this view. Baby Boomers were the most likely to think that plant-based eating is significantly more expensive, with 67% of them believing plant-based foods cost somewhat or much more than a typical Standard American Diet.
well, they objectively and most definitely are. you know those extra five-eight years of life expectancy they give? how much more d’you think those would cost?!
Americans having to meet the Loma Linda standard of 87 years instead of 79. Ooooh the horror!
