Why I had to quit? Just had hard times while being a full fledged veggy is quite costly 
I am surprised. Here in India, almost one-third to two-fifths of the population is vegetarian, and the vegetarian food is a lot more affordable when compared to the non-vegetarian food. But then in India, they don't normally consume exotic dishes such as avocado and asparagus.
Well yeah i don't see how eating exclusively fruits and veggies can be more expensive than meat. I mean, you could grow those in your backyard and have unlimited supply of greens for all you want. Probably you're pertaining to those vegan dishes that has flavors similar to meat lol. Why be vegan though if you're looking for the taste of meat
