Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Obviously there’s the stereotype and that is what it is, but I usually get irked at the suggestion that it’s easy and an imperative. Veganism and other similar diets are an EXTREME luxury, and is only a viable option for a small percentage of the population. It would never have been an option in the past and is still not remotely an option for most humans.

lmfao people have been vegan thousands of years ago e.g. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Ma'arri

beans and rice are poverty foods, not luxury. Meat is a luxury food.

  I think the fact that the Wikipedia article you linked describes this guy as one of the biggest assholes of all time says a lot

    For the record I fully support vegans. I eat meat, but I never waste meat. Which is the best I can do.

I became a vegan at a time in my life where I was close to being homeless. It might be hard for some people to switch to a plan based diet (veganism is more than a diet) depending on their access to a grocery store or food bank or people who can’t choose what they consume such as children, but it is definitely not a luxury.

Poor you with your poor meat. Look at all the poor people feasting on turkey and salmon!

I grew up rich, so I only had beans and rice. Sometimes a carrot because it’s prices like gold. My broccoli is a luxury as well. Marbled steak is for peasants.

I mean, do you even hear yourself?
