Vegan Circlejerk

If you wish to understand it, it's more complex than just the foods. It involves cooking times, convience locations, etc, etc. Humans suck at communicating these auxiliary pressures when discussing their decisions, but I know there's times in my life where I just could not be bothered to cook after a 14 hour workday and any vegan/vegetarian alternatives that were "what I wanted" (IE something to make me happy/comfortable that I didn't have to cook or wait long for) were shockingly expensive even being $2-5 more on average than the meat counterparts at the restaurants nearby despite the reduced ingredient cost.
