I’m guessing they already eat lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc. But this is not only Milei making people poor (that sucks), it is restricting beef which Argentinians probably are very attached to because of their typical dishes.
I get it. Reducing or eliminating beef from our diets can be great (for the majority), but this is not the way we should expect people to get to this lifestyle (against their ability to choose), so it can be a bad moment to mention the silver linings or even good advice like plant-based protein. That’s my opinion; it reads detached of the problem.
I don’t really feel sorry for people who still get to eat meat, even if it’s from a donkey. There’s plenty of people who survive on nothing more than rice.
And yes, I absolutely think it’s a good thing people are getting used to eating less beef, even if it is due to shitty circumstances. I also don’t feel sorry for people who drive a huge gas-guzzling pick-up truck who can now drive a little less than before or god forbid get a smaller car… Because that is what we can compare beef to: from all the meats it’s one of the worst kind for the environment, and often also for the animals themselves.
All this considered, it shouldn’t be a daily staple food but a luxury food imo. So no, I don’t feel sorry at all that Argentinians have to give up that piece of exorbitant luxury. I think it’s outrageous that they’re switching to eating donkeys rather than eating less meat.
You’re out of touch if you don’t think poor Latin Americans aren’t loading up with tons of beans. Stop putting this north American rich kids who live on impossible burgers mentality to people who are already at the bottom. These people need food not downtown hipster advice
Or, y’know, they could start eating more plant-based protein. And kick out their president while they’re at it.

Food is of a very high quality in Argentina and most people cook for themselves with only some occasional restaurant visits.

Northern America*, Anglo America*. But yeah, the comment was a little “oh, opportunity for diet ✨”, lol.
Forgot the /s?
They can eat cake, too.
Beans are cake?
Chocolate is beans. Cake is chocolate. Therefore, beans is cake.
Ackchually… the phrase is mistranslated. Marie Antoinette said “Let them eat brioche” and brioche has no chocolate
