Some people are confessed vegetarians by dint of humane treatment of animals or to save their bottom lines. A vegetarian's diet is not only healthy and simple but its also relatively cheap compared to meat products. Currently, a kilogram of meat in my area costs $0.4 but an equivalent amount of vegetarian items can go for a whole week saving quite some cash. I mostly go vegetarian mostly out of convenience as well as cost.
No I'm not a vegan and I don't think I will be simply because I love food and meat so much. Sure it can be cheaper to buy and consume vegetables, but you will also be missing out on those important nutrients needed by your body that can only be provided by meat products.
Vegan cheaper? It is not a cheaper lifestyle. Spirulina, Tempeh, Tamari and all of those Vegan foods and supplements are very expensive. Also it is not proven to be the healthiest lifestyle no matter what peta claims because the longest lifespan people are Russians Jews and Okinawans and both people are not Vegans. I know Vegans who still ends up having cancer. Vegetarian is somehow better than vegan because they can still have eggs and dairy.
I'm not a vegan, I wish to be one but I cannot stay without eating meat. Evry meal I serve contains meat, and I spend a lot of money on it but I cannot help it, besides I know is not healthy to eat so much meat and fats but this is what I am.
No, I'm not a vegan - but it would be an excellent way to save a lot of money - as meat is always more expensive, in most countries. Are you sure they are the only things available? Do you have sources to back your claim?
