Looking to Save Money? Better Ditch Meat.
A recent article in The Wall Street Journal highlights the increasing cost of meat and other animal products, noting that fruits and vegetables account for some of the smallest price increases in the last year.

According to the author, “It’s a good time to be a vegan. Meat prices are up 9.4% in June from a year earlier, and pork, fish and eggs are more expensive, too. …

… So far this year, a drought in Oklahoma and Texas has driven up cattle prices. A virus has killed millions of piglets and pushed up pork costs. Most of the shrimp eaten in the U.S. comes from Southeast Asia, where a bacterial infection has devastated inventory. ”

With all of the delicious plant-based foods available on the market, and the increasing price of cholesterol- and cruelty-laden animal foods, there’s never been a better time to ditch meat.
