Right you know everything about my life and what my nutritionist and I talked about at the time. Yeah… I fucking hate responses like this.

For the record I became malnourished because it was impossible to afford the number of calories I needed without meat or dairy. And even though that was some years ago I can pretty much guarantee you that that’s still going to be the case in small towns like the one I was in at the time. Veganism is only cheaper than anything else if you don’t need 4000 calories a day to stay alive and have options that aren’t Walmart to shop at.

Did you also avoid all legumes, grains, seeds, and tubers?

... Because meat and dairy are massively subsidized. If we wanted veganism to be a part of mitigating the climate crisis then it would obviously involve changes in economic policy.

just saying this doesn't change the material conditions
