Today they asked if you weren't on a plant based diet before seeing the film what was your experience. one person said"Once my financial situation is more stable, then I'll start weaning myself off of dairy and eggs." what?

Many people rely on them because they can "get a lot for their money," as far as protein-per-calorie. For example, in my town you can get a gallon of milk for $2.19, while the plant-based milks sell at $2.99 or $3.99 for a half-gallon (and contain less protein). So, I can understand what this person meant. They may not be aware of some of the more affordable vegan protein sources. Perhaps you or another poster could use this opportunity to gracefully educate them on how veganism can be more affordable than omnivorism, both in immediate grocery bills and in long-term health consequences.
