    More than half of America lives paycheck to paycheck. Vegan options are more expensive. Until you fix the economic crisis and solve poverty you really can’t enforce veganism.

    This isn’t even getting into the fact that vegan options are literally nonexistent in many places.

    Oh but you don’t care about that because you only care about veganism because it allows you to feel morally superior to others.

      I’m sure everyone on this niche internet forum are a day away from starvation and don’t literally buy plastic wrapped steaks at Walmart on the regular. Oh wait.

      If you’re in a position where you legitimately don’t have options, the comments aren’t about you. Nobody is truly going after the Inuit people. We’re talking to the people who could just as easily buy something else from the grocery store. But whenever a post like this comes up, suddenly everyone considers themselves too impoverished.
