A plant based diet is cheaper, maybe not as available if you eat out or fast food a lot but that comes down to demand.

Yes and no. If its just got survival, sure. But if someone is eating grazing meat, they're already in luxury eating territory.

So we have to then consider foods such as "fancy" vegan burger patties and stuff. Which are all crazy expensive, at least over here.

If you choose to compare "fancy plant based capitalism" to reconstructed chicken sludge yes. But then I could compare beans to kobe beef?

Most of the plant based meat-like products are aimed towards meat eaters but a normal plant based diet is cheaper in every part of the world. The poorest people eat way more plants not by choice but because they are economical forced to.
