    This is direct price to the consumer at a store, not the cost of production. These things are different due to subsidies and externalities. Animal agriculture tends to have a lot of both.

      not in a biological sense no. peanuts and almonds are legumes.

      Basically there is a difference between the biological and the culinary definition for some foods. For instance a common example is that bananas are berries, and neither strawberries nor raspberries are berries biologically, However the culinary definition would treat them as the oppisite. same idea with Tomatoes (biologically a fruit, culinarily a vegetable)
