I don’t know how they think we’re all going to survive with these prices.

    My partner and I are mostly-vegetarian and it’s insane how much stuff still costs. Soy milk is constantly $2-3 a half gallon more than cow milk, veggies are expensive unless you’re only getting rice and beans, and don’t even get me started on meat substitutes

          Nah. Rice is a grain. Beans are legumes. You are perhaps using the word to mean “edible plant”, which is not quite accurate.

            There are such things as ‘culinary vegetables and fruits’. If people used scientific labeling on everything in casual language, we’d be here all day.

              There is scientific precision, there is colloquial language, and then there is being wrong:

              I got 12 Amygdaloideae.

              I got 12 flowers.

              I got 12 matchsticks.
