    Monetary cost is the wrong y-axis here, as it optimkzes only for mega-scale farming without taking its real costs in consideration. It should be ‘true cost’, which also accounts for environmental-, animal- and climate mitigation cost.

      Sure, that’s assuming the OP or those looking for a chart like this care about such things. This comment comes off across a bit as moral posturing.

      It’s the correct one of you live in 2024, where these are the monetary costs consumers have to pay and take into consideration for everyday purchases.
