The generation that grew up with climate anxiety and TikTok is quietly transforming what ends up on grocery store shelves and restaurant menus.

    That’s true. But I’m willing to bet it’s also because it’s less affordable.

      While it feels weird to argue that something should be more expensive, I think it’s best that meat is treated like a luxury for special occasions.

      Meat is inherently an expensive process, and it was only ever cheap because the cost was paid elsewhere—mostly by horrible conditions for animals & human workers and environmental destruction.

      Except the opposite is true by all accounts assuming you aren’t eating fancy meat substitutes all the time.

          A vegan diet is dramatically cheaper than a diet with a significant amount of meat, assuming you aren’t eating expensive meat substitutes
