    as being in teh position to always pay full price for food at a store is a luxury.

    Not if by ‘cost’ they meant ‘cost’, and not ‘what they get from the state at no cost’

            What they claimed was “a whole foods plant-based diet is 30% cheaper.”

            Which is factually supported by the study, even if you’d prefer to interpret it to mean something else

                It’s actually not speaking about the personal costs born by consumers, it’s talking about the cost of purchasing food for the diet.

                As I said, if the paper was discussing the systemic hurtles and personal choices of consumers it would be a different paper, saying a different thing.
