People love to call veganism ‘privileged,’ while conveniently ignoring the fact that the only reason animal products are even close to being accessible for the average consumer is because they’re factory farmed, slaughtered and packed by grossly underpaid labourers working in dangerous conditions, and then massively subsidised by all of our taxes.

    Are you vegan, because all of those second paragraph things are associated with veganism.

    Well idk about taco bell cause I’m not a seppo but literally when I told me sister I was going vegan and asked if she had advice she said “Sour patch kids and oreos are vegan”

      I’ve lived in my car and definitely taco-bell was a go-to option on rainy days. I usually order a few bean burritos. Substitute black beans because its mor calories and the same price.

      I’m vegetarian and mostly keep to a vegan diet.

      I guess my experience has been that those things are mentioned more as novelties, as in, “hey crazy thing but instead of kale chips you can eat sour patch kids!” But that’s just my experience.
