it's late night and you may see only my
teeth but I wanted to discuss but
veganism
is expensive yes and it's expensive you
know for very different reasons but you
can also be a vegan and save money so
there are various ways just like if you
are eating animal products and animal
foods you can endure a lot of cost can
be very expensive or it can be very
cheap depending on what you buy and
where you shop and so forth so let me
tell you that veganism can be expensive
if you shop out of at a high-end
supermarket and you're buying you know
expensive you know meat alternative
products or vegan alternative products
and you are buying things that probably
are shipped from far distance in their
you know pretty pricey if you're buying
durians all the time and if you're
buying other products that are expensive
in northern climates they don't grow
here then then you could endure you know
it could be expensive to be vegan but if
you're buying simple food everyday foods
staple foods like potatoes and rice and
potatoes and rice and grains and you
know pasta are not expensive
and if you really think about it even in
fruits and vegetables you know that
aren't season even the ones that aren't
in season are not expensive either
because if you think about it produce is
not heavily subsidized at all by the
government I think it's like less than
5% of the budget is spent on fruits and
vegetables in the u.s. I believe and a
lot of it is spent on animal animal
foods animal products and processed
foods so if you think about let's say
animal products were not subsidized
processed foods were not subsidized
those foods with skyrocket in price and
nobody would very few people would be
able to afford them but so if you don't
subsidize plant foods at all like even
with the you know less than 5%
government subsidy you take you know you
removed that and the plant foods would
still be we cheaper than animal products
so let's say the tables were turned
around and animal products were not
subsidized processed foods were not
subsidized by the government but plant
foods were so plant foods would come
down tremendously at least 75% at least
maybe even up to 90% if you think about
it that's just what I feel so if you
think about like let's say bananas I
just say cost a dollar a pound okay
Canadian a dollar pound so they would
cost like 25 cents a pound
if that if they if fruits and vegetables
were subsidized if plant foods were
subsidized
so that's another thing is that
sometimes animal foods seem cheaper
because they're just subsidized by the
government because animal agriculture
writes all the laws into policies and
they get subsidies but why don't the
fruit and vegetable farmers and the
grain farmers in the lagoon farmers get
subsidies like analogical tree well
because animal agriculture is a massive
industry it's a massive it's the biggest
industry probably in the world the
biggest industry in the world animal
agriculture and so it's subsidized its
massive subsidies from the government
and so many other other subsidies and
other things that go into it so a lot of
times people have to go far in order to
go to a cheaper supermarket or find good
deals someone you know those discount
rocks maybe where you're located maybe
there are people that can afford to pay
a little bit more and get better quality
produce and so you're in an area that
really has you know high-end
supermarkets and health stores and maybe
you need to move in that cases some
people are so stuck with they're like oh
I need to live here and I need to do
this I need to do that and everything so
expensive and they keep complaining and
they never really do anything about it
you know if vegans or anyone for that
matter is low on income there are food
banks that provide people with
plant-based foods vegan foods and when
it comes to like bread and when it comes
to other items that have multiple
ingredients you can literally read the
ingredient list
if the product is vegan or not of course
if you're an experienced vegan you'll
know and you will be able to tell if a
product is vegan or not and so it comes
down to it that the only reason that
veganism is so a vegan food is so
expensive it's because people are buying
a lot of processed foods that cost a lot
people are buying you know products that
of course aren't subsidized or very
little subsidies like like produce their
shopping in high-end supermarkets
organic supermarkets all these things
they're buying all kinds of organic
produce that cost way more than
so-called conventional in fact
conventional should be you should be
should be called something else and
organic should be called conventional
because well gagging is conventional but
anyways I rather eat me Ganic but it's
not possible always so there's so many
reasons why veganism and vegan food is
expensive and you can definitely live on
a dollar a day for food even less if you
dumpster dive you can get really good
food all packaged everything you know
clean everything packaged people you
know supermarkets throw out so much
stuff that's in packaging like a lettuce
and packaging and fruit and packaging is
so forth and a lot of times nowadays
supermarkets close their bins they put
locks on them so it's very hard to find
some that are open but anyways
subsidizing is a good idea even getting
food from other people I mean
just ask people like you need food and
if they have any extra food that to
donate or anything like that or food to
donate for charity or if you have a
vegan charity or something or nonprofit
what else there's so many ways I have
multiple videos on how you could save
money and even in my book how to live
the perfect vegan life I talked about
this as well and I don't want to keep
this video too long but post your
comment down below on this subject
matter of why veganism would be too
expensive and how to save money being a
vegan proposed to down below and let's
see if we can start growing our own food
so we can stop spending money in
supermarkets so grow as much food as you
can and if you want to grow food all
year round the only logical solution is
to live somewhere where you can grow
food all year round of course we don't
live in a perfect world and so there are
a lot of obstacles and things that we
have to contend to but I hope this was
informational for you and you don't need
to see my face anyways I'm who cares
