ELI5: How is it only a "proper" meal if it has meat or meatlike ingredients? What's wrong with dishes that are plainly vegetarian?

    The article already mentions "or a vegetarian equivalent". Being vegetarian also means you have to have a balanced diet. That's not easy when you're poor.

    Has anybody had the patience to investigate on the article and find out what is meant by "vegetarian equivalent"? I cannot believe that lentils or beans could be that expensive. Completely different picture for tofu, meat substitutes and the like.
