For example:
Carnist: “Hey, you want a slice of this pepperoni, triple cheese pizza?”
Vegan: “Sorry, no thank you, I’m vegan.”
Carnist: “Oh, wow! Nice! I respect that! Yeah, I would go vegan, but I just would struggle with protein, B12, and iron if I did! Like, I tried being vegan for a week and got so sick! I still eat plant-based alternatives every now and then, though! And I totally get where you’re coming from with your ethics! Yeah, the way they treat animals on those factory farms is crazy, bro! I hope those cruel practices can be abolished one day. Complete solidarity with you and the animals, dude! ✊ In the meantime, I absolutely try my best to get my meat, dairy, and eggs from local, free-range, humane, and organic farms!”
Vegan: “Okay?”
Like, seriously, just saying “Oh, okay.” and moving on with your life would be preferable over this shit.
Damn
What was that lunch
I find it hard to get in high density vegan protein in that isn’t ultra processed soy type stuff or like ‘protein bar’ type mega dry and chewy protein epic bars
I don’t wanna lie and say it was super healthy lol. It was a Lenny and Larry’s cookie that is like 16g and a shake that was 20g. Those cookies aren’t super processed but far from whole food. They are super convenient on the go tho.
Hell yeah vegan junk food gang rise up
I may have given up carnism but you’ll never take away my desire to eat like a teenager
Ironically I got on this kick because up until recently, we would go get fast food quite a lot and the only vegan option is Impossible Whoppers(debatable, I know) and fries from select places. We do have taco bell but they fuck up my order so much there that I just gave up since it was wasting food. We have a giant drug store here and I found out they have a whole bunch of vegan protein bars and snacks. So when the family would go get stuff, I would just head there and pick up a few things and call it dinner. I was usually getting enough for a full meal for $6 or so whereas a Whopper meal runs $12 here.
Also shoutout to my local vegan food truck that has perfected veganifiying fried junk lol.
ah yeahhh tricky
