Calorie for calorie, no.
Vegetables aren't the totality of my diet. As it stands now, vegan or vegetarian replacements for meat are more expensive than actual meat.
The replacemets yes. But vegetarian food is so much more than just replacing meat. It's cooking completely different meals that taste great without anything meat related. And that absolutely is cheaper that eating meat.
There are valid reasons for veganism, but it's folderol to claim it's absolutely cheaper. For one example, sardines are fished sustainably and are very low in mercury, both because they're basically ocean mice. They're also all but impossible to nutritionally outperform for the price.
Obviously there are exceptions. But in general a vegetarion meal is cheaper in comparison to a meal with beef or something like that. That is true for most meats. So for an "average" meat eater it is cheaper.
Do you know what "absolute" means? If so, why say it?
