It... depends. Currently, a kg of bell peppers is about 7€/kg in my local supermarket (Germany). Chicken wings of the cheapest kind are 4€/kg. There is a lot of obscenely cheap meat out there and meat fills you up fast. You can get 10 eggs for under 3€. Eating ten eggs at once is difficult, but a kg of sauteed bell peppers is hardly enough of a side dish for two. So... It depends. Of course you'd eat macaroni, rice, potatoes etc to fill you up, but the bell pepper (and other veggies) vs meat thing always annoys me. Tofu per kg is also more expensive than most meats.
