Peg has noticed an increase in food prices. (Have you? I confess that I haven't, but that's just because I don't pay attention to such things.) Peg says I don't eat meat. For the record, I have always eaten chicken, fish, and eggs. I have never been a vegetarian, much less a vegan. I call myself (following R. M. Hare) a "demi-vegetarian." That means I eat only certain animal products and only in small quantities.
