      Yes, price is an important factor. Especially because people who are regular meat eaters think that by becoming vegan that they’ll be spending their meat money on fake meat, thus becoming poorer. This is generally not true, because once you learn to cook vegan you’ll not be using fake meat a lot, but it sure does cause a hurdle to new vegans.
