I do exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots, and beans ! (and other vegetables, fruits, and legumes)
Eating even the cheapest chicken I could find at LIDL (a little over 10€) would at least triple my food budget.
I think also Americans live in a different world pricing-wise, I have seen some people respond to me with some prices I didn’t think existed.
So I guess the universe where it is expensive is called “Europe”.








Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that’s not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.
It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don’t grow locally ; I can’t give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.
Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.
