Like in the 90s, there were zero veg restaurants (in my town, anyways). The best you could do was Indian, and damn I ate a lot of Indian. I was lucky if a store had one kind of tofu. Soymilk wasn’t really sold in the store. Fake meats and specialty veg foods didn’t exist. No vegan ice creams and desserts and shit. Also no Uber Eats.
I listen to people complaining today and I really have no patience for it. I went vegetarian (not vegan*) at 19. I bought and cooked my own meals. I made a fuck ton of rice and beans. And I had to do this in a suburban hell with no car. Adults in a city whinge that it’s hard and I’m like 
Granted, people living in rural Kansas or whatever food desert might have it harder. For the rest, fucking just do it.
*I’ve been vegan for ten years now
I consider myself an easy mode vegan because I was raised vegetarian and my mother was always experimenting with dairy and egg replacements growing up.
People tell me “A lentil burger? My kids would never eat that!” They would have if they grew up with them. What do you think kids eat in India? Hella lentils.
Now we have this “just egg” and miyoko butter that’s actually getting affordable and it’s literally indistinguishable? Like what?
I do wish my grocery would stock non sweet plant milks though. Even when they say they aren’t sweet they usually are. The shelf stable silk soy and homemade oat and hemp milks are the only things I’ve found that you can make a savoury dish with.
Without subsidies on animal ag these would even be cheaper in comparison.
