  • But I also acknowledge that some people struggle depending on their location, occupation, time, knowledge, access to groceries, budget (although plant foods/products are usually cheaper, not necessarily always), and individual health circumstances.

    Let’s jump into it:

    location

    in North America and Europe it’s extremely easy, and those are the non vegans that often claim location issues.

    occupation

    This one is possible, but it’s perfectly doable with 40 hour work weeks like I did when switching.

    time, knowledge

    It only takes a while to get used to it. You need to learn where you can get your nutrition from, and learn some new recipes. This takes a few months and it can be learned during the change towards veganism.

    access to groceries

    Same as location.

    budget

    Like you said, most vegan products are actually cheaper than non vegan products.

    individual health circumstances

    This is almost always a lie by non vegans. I think the disease where you can only eat meat to get the required nutrients is like 1 in 100 000. Nut allergies are also not that important. I don’t really eat much nuts and I’m always perfectly fine on my yearly vitamin checkups.


    There’s always a “more vegan” and “less vegan” way to live, so to speak. To argue that because we can’t avoid it entirely, then we have no obligation to reduce it as far as we can, is I think a nirvana fallacy.

    That’s well said.
