Insects are also cheaper than plants.

Plant-based food alternatives, at least in the U.S. are very expensive to the counterparts.

Poor people make up a majority of America. If we want change, we need feasible alternatives, not greenwashed ones that price out at the middle class. Impoverished people aren’t capable of making the same extent of changes sheerly because their survival is more important than not using cow milk.

I’m totally with you, we need to make efforts at culturally appropriate changes and to make efforts towards diversifying all of them. More options is only a good thing and I’ll never understand this idea that it has to be specifically one thing (usually some kind of plant based). If it can be made cheap enough, great, but don’t we also want lab grown, insect based, and locally farmed meat and produce? Let’s try and make strides towards making all of these as prevalent as factory farming, no?
