Eating vegan saves even more money when compared to the Mediterranean diet or any other type of diet

The total food costs were 19% lower on a vegan diet than on a standard American diet (SAD) such as animal products and refined ingredients. Costs were 25 percent lower when compared to a Mediterranean diet

The savings were mostly associated with eschewing traditional meat, which offset the additional outgoings for vegetables and plant-based proteins. Overall, the analysis suggests that people following a SAD diet could save more than $650 per year by going vegan, while those following a Mediterranean diet could save over $870

This latest analysis, by PCRM research in 2023, found low-fat vegan diets were around 16% less expensive than diets including meat, dairy, and egg

“As the cost of groceries remains stubbornly high, consumers should swap the meat and dairy products for a low-fat vegan diet based on fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans,” said Hana Kahleova, the lead author of the new paper and director of clinical research at PCRM

According to Technology Networks. “A vegan diet won’t just save money; it could save lives by helping to avoid or improve conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.”

According to a report by Bryant Research and Plant-Based Universities found that Universities could save half a million pounds and cut 84 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from food by switching to entirely plant-based catering
