being vegan/vegetarian is a PRIVILEGE. stop shaming people for not having the means to go veg, it’s very classist.

if you have the means to do it, that’s amazing! but a lot of people do not, for various reasons. many people live in food deserts or do not have the funds to support a veg diet.

i was vegetarian for almost 5 years, i used to be a huge advocate for it. but for financial and health reasons i had to stop, which sucked for me morally but i had no choice.

to all my vegans/vegetarians out there: keep up the fight!! keep pushing for more veg options, support community attempts to bring more veg options in, hold the capitalists responsible for their terrible control of our food supply, etc.

i will advocate always for a veg diet, but this is a no shame zone for those who are not able at this moment.

do y’all not realize that this is not just about the cost. some people do not have access to grocery stores and fresh produce. some people have to live off of whatever is at the gas station or corner store. some people are trying to simply SURVIVE.
