vegan-yums

I don't think you're in a place to condemn people for being vegetarian. Not everyone is born into a rich white family and has money to shop at while foods and Mariano's exclusively vegan and organic food. Several people are unable to become vegan bc of their social economic status. Don't act like you're above people because you're really not, your privilege is the only reason you've even become vegan
Oh shut up, seriously. First of all not every vegan is rich and white, like what. By saying that you’re trying to erase poor vegans and vegans of color…and there’s plenty of them, stop. I can go through the vegetable section of my grocery store and get enough stuff to cook in bulk and have a meal for days, for less than 5 dollars. Not every vegan buys alternative vegan products, they’re expensive. I really hate asks like this because I highly doubt you’re even a vegetarian you just think you’re being an ally to people you know nothing about as you scroll down your tumblr on your iphone, cause you don’t wanna go vegan but feel offended by something I said. Plant food is cheap. Meat is expensive. If you look at what less-fortunate countries eat? Usually it’s plant food - grains, rice, veggies, beans, potatoes, fruit and sometimes fish. The western diet is the most expensive and most greedy diet. I’m not saying everyone can go vegan, I’m not an idiot. I’m saying most can. If you want to help humans one of the first steps is going vegan. We waste so so so much water, food and energy killing animals and ruining nature to build more places to kill animals. We could feed so many people. I have vegans on food stamps and homeless vegans that come through my askbox all the time. Instead of sending anons thinking you know what you’re talking about, educate yourself and do something productive to help the people you’re talking about. It’s a privilege to eat the western diet, a diet that ruins it for everyone else, a diet that is making the hungry, hungrier. It’s not a privilege to eat whats grown on the earth for us. It’s how it’s supposed to be. Wake up.
