Really?
In Italy we get cheap vegetables below 1€, normal ones below 2€ and expensive ones for less than 3€.
Cheap meat (the interiors) start at around 6-7€ per kilo. Except chicken, which can be cheaper and even reach 3.5€ per kilo for a full one, however you have to consider the weight of bones.
Legumes can be found at around 2€ per kilo dried.

In Slovenia and Spain the situation is quite similar.
In Poland I have noticed some very cheap sausages and pastet, but I doubt anyone with enough buying power to afford something else would buy those things often.
Vegetables were still cheaper.

What areas of the world are you talking about?

I don't understand your reply.
Do you mean that meat is cheaper than vegetables in Germany?
It appears to me that you're implying that in rich countries meat is cheaper than vegetables, but that's really not the case, Slovenia, Italy and Spain are also rich countries but don't have meat cheaper than vegetables.

Or do you mean that since Germany is a rich country people eat meat every day despite the fact that it's more expensive than vegetables?
If this is the case, however, I would expect poor people in Germany to consume less meat than rich people.
