    What you said, though in my european country it’s not necessarily cheaper. In fact, some vegan foods are crazy expensive. As an aside (not food); i used to buy non-leather shoes pretty cheaply. Then marketing worldwide figured out to call them ‘vegan shoes’ and bam, expensive shoes…

      If you’re specifically getting specifically “vegan” products like fake meat or the like it can get expensive, but staples like rice and beans are cheap, vegan, and nutritious.

        Rice is not a “vegan” food, it’s just food food. If you only ate rice you’d be deficient in all sorts of things in no time.

          Vegans don’t have to only eat specially labeled vegan things, the only thing that qualifies a food as vegan is if it has no animal products in it. You can form a full vegan diet just from what you call “food food”. Obviously you need variety though, and don’t only eat rice.
