## Resource

How long until folk switch from saying "veganism" is so expensive, to "veganism is just the cheap option". Either way, latest research from the Good Food Institute suggests that buying some plant-based meats in the UK could save folk money (compared to if they were buying the animal counterpart). Mark, Shane & Anthony dissect this story amongst several others from the last 7 days of animal rights & vegan news. Like what we do? Want to help it sound even better?
