This is ridiculous on many levels. For instance, I’d be a vegetarian, except that pound for pound, veggies are more expensive than steak. Getting enough protein from vegetables would be hugely expensive and inefficient. What’s more, vegetables don’t contain hardly contain critical proteins such as lysine. If complete nutrition from vegetable matter at low cost were available, nearly everyone would be a vegetarian and nobody would even have to preach about it. So, anyone proposing reducing meat consumption better come up with a realistic alternative.
