“God just touched me and told me to go out and pass out all the food that I had prepared the day before,” he told the BBC.

In total, Mr Hunter gave away 300 vegan meals and bottles of water to Black Lives Matter protesters. The cause and his restaurant are inextricable in his heart.

In 2016 he was facing 20 years in jail on felony rioting charges after participating in a Black Lives Matter protest following the death of his cousin, Philando Castile.

Past that, the article doesn’t seem to want to talk about the simple economic costs of eating meat, much less the impact of food inflation on diet. They frame the choice around nutrition and make allusions to the link with the civil rights movement. But they seem to neglect it’s just a cheaper way to live.

• Vegan diets were the most affordable and reduced food costs by up to one third.

• Vegetarian diets were a close second.

• Flexitarian diets with low amounts of meat and dairy reduced costs by 14%.

Can’t help notice a relationship between higher poverty and lower meat consumption.
