  Javaearth,

  It's great that you went vegan and were able to save $186 a month. But I think it's important to keep in mind that this article is talking about people who spend less than $186 per person a month on food to begin with. When I was eating vegan, I was spending around $100 a month on food, which meant eating a lot of potatoes and lots and lots of dried beans. So yes, you can eat very cheaply as a vegan, but let's keep in mind that not everyone has the time or energy to do so.

  I was fortunate to live within walking distance to a grocery store, but a lot of people aren't, and don't have cars, which makes constantly going to the store to buy fresh vegetables and fruit a big inconvenience. Cooking healthy, nutritious vegan meals requires time and energy, which people who are just barely making ends meet often lack.

  Just something to keep in mind.On Rising food prices hit home around the world posted 1 year, 8 months ago 10 Responses
