Honestly being vegan with modern farming and food production techniques is pretty easy, especially when compared to being vegan in the past - though if al-Ma’arri managed to live into his 80s while being a disabled, atheistic vegan in the middle east in the late 900s/early 1000s AD then it probably wasn’t exactly impossible!
Absolutely true. We have everything we could want/need to live a healthy vegan life. Most people are just afraid of trying something different or are purposefully ignorant of the implications of a non-vegan lifestyle.
One of the things that made it hardest for me was being teased and picked on by my family, while I wasn’t asking anything from them. I just didn’t want meat with dinner. It was nonstop anytime I showed my face, and if I spoke I was spoken over and ignored. It made me very antisocial, and I didn’t adhere to my values. Then almost twenty years later I did and I’ve gained a bunch of weight because I’m comfortable while I eat.
I feel you. My SO and I have been vegan for around 3 years now and my family (mostly my older brother, tbh) keeps trying to get us to “cheat on veganism” for some super stupid reason. The worst has been when my brother said that he’s “constantly” making compromises for us in terms of food, so it’d only be fair if we did once. 🙄
They’re/he’s probably just too insecure to give it a proper shot and to admit that what they’re/he’s doing might be morally wrong.
Veganism is Dark Souls only because restaurants haven’t learned how to git gud
Painfully simple once you remove the noob traps?
Yup, pretty much. :)
Nope, because 🥓🥩🍖🧆🐟🍳🥛🧀🍔 🤤🤤🤤

Depends on where you live obviously. US, Canada, Europe - fuck yes. Especially if you take the time to research animal ag and vegan alternatives.
Ugh being vegan is too hard, i dont want to only be limited to the literal hundreds of edible plants, and centuries of plant based cooking techniques. let me just eat the same 3 baby animals and their excretions.
I’m probably gonna go vegetarian but I love dairy too much to go vegan
That’s fair. Cutting out meat is already making an intense impact and don’t let purists tell you otherwise.
Besides, dairy is affordable. Meat isn’t.

i doubt it.
Just buy eco eggs and milk if they are available. Those fuckers will torture the animals to the brink of killing them.
Organic milk and eggs do jack for the animal’s wellbeing - they are still being bred and tortured (and killed) for our pleasure. Having half a square meter more to themselves does not change this fact.
