    1kg of chicken breast meat costs me less than 5 USD and covers multiple days of meals. To get equivalent nutrients out of plants would cost me way more than that.

      wtf you can? Where I am chicken breast is USD $11.64 per kg!

      Compare that to beans. Where I live I can get a kg of dried pinto beans for $3.50, and with 67% as much protein per serving as chicken it would cost $5.25 to get the same amount of protein as a kg of chicken breast.

      What’s the price of 1kg of dried beans where you live? That’d be a more apt comparison.
