Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months agothat’s great, but most vegans you speak to will tell you that we aren’t telling the people who lack the privilege we do to go vegan. we’re asking our neighbors, our bosses, our friends - people in similar if not the very same life circumstances as us - to walk a couple aisles over from where they buy the meat in the grocery store and buy some beans instead.
people love to bring up the privilege thing, but i would argue that it is entirely irrelevant. the entire point of veganism is to do what is reasonably possible and practicable. not to tell people who don’t have the privilege to be so discerning about their diet that they are going to hell or something.
