Easy to say when you have choices in where to shop. Lack of transportation and odd work schedules destroy that Real Quick. As does rural life, or life in an urban food desert.
There is more to poverty than lack of money - there is also lack of time for serious food preparation. And idk if you’ve looked at vegan processed food lately but uh…
No one can survive on crock pot beans alone.
Once again, 100 companies are responsible for how much of the emissions?

At the super market! Not everyone has access to world wide goods shipped in on cargo ships burning fucking bunker fuel in a gigantic two stroke(inefficient and dirtier burning than 4 stroke) by the gallons per mile.
Unless you are growing your own, I would argue you are contributing to the climate crisis more than my ham hocks.

Beans are the most climate efficient source of protein. They are nitrogen fixers. You can buy them anywhere you can buy food. No supermarket needed.
From small town arctic circle to small town putarinas. From Asia to Africa. Everywhere. You will find beans.

I’ve been. I ate beans. Plenty of locals eat beans there too. Because its cheaper and makes more sense.
