    Beans and rice aren’t replacing the fruits and vegetables part. People eating meat-based diets are also eating fruits and vegetables, or if not, they aren’t going be healthy either

      If you are not eating a bunch of bread and meat and eggs then you are getting your fill in more expensive products. Meat and bread and eggs have high caloric/protein/carb content and have been subsidized to absurdly low prices. It is why low income families depend on them. It’s how they get a full stomach.

      Go to a Walmart with someone who eats meat and dairy and match their meal efficiency per dollar. Good luck.

        This is more or less just repeating the original claim without addressing any of the other points brought up. I am also confused why we’re talking about bread now when that’s perfectly plant-based?
