Vegans are correct, people just don't want to change their lifestyle. I am not a vegan (yet) for what it's worth, but they are definitely correct.
I haven't gone full vegetarian or vegan. I should for the health of our world though. I have however cut my meat consumption down to about 1# a week, usually chicken. For whatever that's worth.
I didn't realize I was straight up addicted to meat in my diet till I tried cutting it out. I think that's why people get angry with vegans, cause then they gotta look inward, and then that's gonna be this whole other thing. Oofta
I wonder how bad eggs are for the environment though?
To be fair there was a large amount of time (2010s at least) where vegans weren't even trying to be appealling. It was either. Stereotypical vegan dishes but even more limited or extremely bad vegetarian meat. Vegetarian meat has improved a lot and more importantly vegan food is represented as less one note.
Don't think I'm strong enough to give up dairy but respect to those who can do so without being elitist
I didn't care for the "beyond meat" so much. I don't mind the old school bocca burgers. Throw it on a bun and dress tf outta that burger you'll be alright. I've been big into beans. Making hummus. Bean salads. Enchiladas. They really are the magical fruit. Cheese is tough I hear ya.
And they're not all elitists. Some are just really good environmentalists who maybe aren't so good at communicating and have maybe been burned in the past. But ya some just like the smell of their own farts.
