This shit is insane. While it's not just overall more expensive to be vegan. But some vegan substitutes are expensive as hell, while the carnivor alternative is super cheap because substitution is a joke. There is a local little factory that makes oat milk. Great, right? No long routes, and no gross tiddy milk. One liter is 4 bucks, while random milk is like 1 buck. There is a dry meat alternative that is made of smoked beets, it's pretty much twice as expensive as just dry meat. It's a clown world.
Crazy how people wanting to live in luxury has brought down the prices of all these products once deemed too expensive. Vanilla was only for the rich and now it's in every cheap product. It became so normal that the word "vanilla" is now synonymous with "normal" or "basic".
You have a local factory that makes oat milk? Do you live in sweeden?
