I mean I suppose things are cheaper if you cut out 85% of a normal diet and replace it all with vegetables.

What normal diet is 85% animal products ???? Even the SAD is not that high.. I hope?

Bread, cheese/milk, meat, those are the big three. You'd be surprised how much you eat animal products in a standard diet.

Bread is not an animal product nor are most types of bread typically made with any animal products additives

No the big three are proteins, carbs and fat. Only proteins are animal based on omnivore diets. Therefore you just need to replace them.

Sorry, I meant big three as in the three big ones that involve animal products.

Tbh meat in general is overpriced when eggs and dairy are perfect substitutes. I only ever eat meat when I'm traveling and need a quick option.

Vegan diets replace eggs and dairy with vegetables

Vegetarians exist.
