I wish I could eat like this - not only for the cost effectiveness, but it'd be better for the environment than meat! Having IBD really sucks. I can only imagine how difficult it is in the US where the medical care is so expensive on top of everything else.
To be clear, if you're at all concerned about maintaining a food budget, even if it's $500/week the billionaire class is still your enemy.
To be positively translucent, even someone with $1,000,000 in the bank has 1000x less than the poorest billionaire. For other disturbing facts, see https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/.

I can buy oats and flour on the cheap around here, but chickpeas and dried beans? That's very quickly sounding like $10 a day.
Bruh how? You can get kilograms of dried beans for $10.
It's more expensive for canned beans but for $10 are you eating 5 cans of organic beans a day?
Where are you buying dried beans?

These are 1.28 a pound, if you have a winco or costco you can get much cheaper.

These are 2 dollars a pound.
So like you would turn this into hummus and eat it with bread/tortillas you made from flour.
Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.
Hell, even if you can easily afford way more than that, you are still closer to the person who can only afford $2 of food a day than a billionaire.
Unionization isn't enough, we need syndicalism. They're like Unions but armed, more organized, more willing to strike and sabotage, and unlike Unions which attempt to hold back the Capitalists Syndicates replace capitalism entirely. Remember, why demand the scraps of the capitalists when we can take the means of production and the complete value of our labor.
Pro life tip: Read theory, join your local socialist or anarchist organization, get involved, strike, sabotage, just make sure to organize
Syndicalism is nice, but without a solid analysis of Imperialism it risks taking on a Nationalist character if you're in the Imperial Core. Additionally, if you're in a de-industrialized nation like the United States, worker organization is more difficult along union lines, which is partially why Unions have historically struggled in the United States in recent years.
100% agree on reading theory and joining an org, just wanted to add some caveats.
Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I'm eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.
Hey man if you have a legal place to hunt, go wild!
Buying anything but the cheapest of meats these days is eye watering.
Just thinking; maybe if people stop trying to get rid of political target and instead started target billionaires, then maybe, just maybe, the world would be a better place for everyone.
Just thinking.

Did you know that at lemmy, they have special discounts, where you can get two wisdoms for the price of one upvote?
Two tips, one meme.
Only slightly related. One weird thing I noticed when moving to Japan is that peanuts and beans were way more expensive than the US. I guess the equivalent here would be moyashi (bean sprouts) and cabbage.
