To put that sum in context, the article says €225 per month represents a 41% reduction in the monthly food bill.

In Western countries, a vegan diet is not just healthier but cheaper than a standard meat-heavy diet. And the difference is significant in both cases.

You know, when someone wastes hundreds of dollars a month to indulge a pleasurable habit that shortens their lives significantly - like, say, cigarettes or alcohol - we'd have no qualms calling that an addiction. But the slaughter lobby has prevented any studies on the addictive nature of animal flesh and the harm it does to public health. Gosh, I wonder why.
