Here's a couple facts you may be able to aggregate into your response
> The U.S government spends $38 billion each year to subsidize the meat and dairy industries, but
only 0.04 percent of that (i.e., $17 million) each year to subsidize fruits and vegetables. A $5 Big
Mac would cost $13 if the retail price included hidden expenses that meat producers offload onto
society. A pound of hamburger will cost $30 without any government subsidies.

And even though something like McDonalds is super cheaper, many raw plant-derived foods are still cheaper per calories (per quantity nutrients it's just a show-show, McDonalds is not even in the same league. Caloricly speaking, the "race" is a bit closer)
So, a Big Mac, just the Big Mac alone, cost $4 now, in this one Big Mac, you're getting 563 calories. So per dollar, you're getting 141 calories, more or less.
Here, we have a 50 pound bag of pinto beans for $60. 50 pounds is 22,680 grams. Per serving, on the back of the bag, you get 150 calories per 44 grams (in their dry form, so if you boiled them, they would be less caloricly dense, but that is irrelevant because in their boiled form, the bag has a lot more than 50 pounds of beans). That is 515 servings. That is 77,320 calories per bag. That is 1290 calories per dollar.
In terms of nutritional density, I would still have to do lots of calculations, and I will one day... but now right now... but the number will be a lot more absurd then "10 times more calories per dollar"... it will be, I predict, something like 50 to 100 times more nutrients per dollar with beans than a Big Mac...
Anyway, my point is, your friend is as naive as a fallen leaf when it comes to veganism. Dude probably thinks vegans only eat $14 juice and over-priced goji berries.
Downvotes, but no counter evidence.

The sign of true intellectualism.
