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.

    idk dude
    The vegan sandwich cheese I buy is 1,29€ / 150g, cheapest animal cheese is 1,59€ / 150g.
    The vegan lunch meat I buy is 0,95€ / 100g, the cheapest animal lunch meat of the same kind (Mortadella) is 1,49€ / 100g.
    The vegan butter I buy is 1,59€ / 200g, the cheapest animal butter I could find is 1,99€ / 250g (equivalent to 1,59€ / 200g).
    Bread is usually vegan either way.

    Making a sandwich isn’t crazy cooking
