this is a nice idea if you can afford a chef to make delicious and nutritious meals to accommodate your dietary choices.

You don't need a chef to be vegan. You don't need a chef to eat healthy either that's such a horrible mentality I see around here.

yeah it's a bit ridiculous, kind of like needing a personal trainer in order to do any physical activity lol. there are so many free videos/instructional resources online to follow at home, you can go to a gym and just use some machines, go outside and run for $0 like some people truly may not have proper resources but most people are just fucking lazy

why do you immediately assume i sit on my ass eating tv dinners? I cook my own meals and aim to eat healthy, but maintaining a vegan diet is costly and difficult

I think what's more effective than shaming people for eating meat is advocating for a better food system in general. Like you can enjoy a vegan diet full of hfcs or other corn products that supports corn subsidies and giant corporate controlled monocropped factory farms that exploit workers and are terrible for the environment. Istg I have no patience for certain vegans.

Yeah, but eating meat is worse than committing to almost any plant based diet in every single way since when you choose to eat meat you’re always supporting the worst parts of the non-meat ag industry in addition to the torturous factory farms that have a ton of their own labor issues.

...or you could purchase ethically sourced meat and animal products from small local farmers? I'm not saying that's what most people do or that's plausible for everyone, but that is very much a real thing. And many people have cultural ties to certain food.

I am a former ag worker so I feel like I'm pretty informed about all that goes into growing, packing, storing, and transporting food. And probably sound like a hypocrite after recently commenting on enjoying field roast products, but just because something is vegan, it does not mean it was produced or distributed in an ethical or good for the environment way. I believe in eating local whenever possible and supporting small, sustainable farms, growing my own food, etc. You know, proactive solutions and not just telling people that they're bad people if they enjoy chicken and maybe don't have the resources or desire to eliminate a major part of their diet.

I personally think you can get certain types of ethically produced animal products but there's no such thing as ethically sourced meat outside of maybe straight-up hunting but that's kind of an aside. There's also no sustainable way to produce meat for billions of people because of how inefficient meat is.

Some local small farms are great, but others definitely aren't for the same reasons that small businesses tend to actually be worse for pay and labor violations than your average big corporation.

No one says you're a bad person if you enjoy chicken, but you can't get mad at people for maybe thinking it reflects badly on you that you prioritize your personal tastes over considering the lives of animals. It's not shaming anyone to ask people to put a little bit more thought into what they're doing when they're consuming something daily. I still haven't seen a good moral defense of meat eating.

It's cool she's vegan. I still remember when PETA ambushed her and she sat there like a deer in headlights.
