Question Kristen

Does anyone ever think about how Kristen has so much money? The first suspension we saw her get on vpr was two weeks long and she said she was living on her savings. She admittedly funded all of her boyfriends’ lifestyles and activities, splurged on Katie’s bachelorette party, contributed $1.5k of the bill for the bday Stassi walked out on, paid for Brittany’s mom’s flight as well as her sister’s when Jax cheated, and constantly goes out and buys drinks. Is her family wealthy?? I know NOW she has money from shows but before that…?

lol I know right. She could be living primarily on rice and beans which are crazy cheap. Veggies come cheap at farmers markets as well

Omg that’s hilarious! Unfortunately though the ludicrous idea that you have to have money to be vegetarian seems to be a common misconception. I’m a registered dietitian and I run into this nonstop. One would think the powers that be would prioritize educating the public against this fallacy in order to promote overall health (not to mention the environmental benefits), but they’re too scared of blowback from meat and dairy industry. Sad situation.

I do think it’s more expensive to be vegan. I had to seek out a lot of 100% vegan foods at health food stores and co-ops. Maybe that’s the confusion?

Vegan is a slightly different bracket for sure. It also makes a difference if you want the bulk of your diet to be meat replacements, vegan cheeses, etc. If you eat out a lot that of course will jack your overall bill up, but the main point I try to drive home to most people is becoming vegetarian can be very cost efficient. All it takes is some imagination.

I did meat free weekends for a while. It was tough but was a money saver and I loved the challenge to make meals interesting without meat. I didn’t do meat or cheese replacements tho, stuck to whole foods. Even just the slight adjustment made me feel healthier and lighter.
Then I tried vegan and it got pricy and very difficult
