exactly!
i loved eating meat. i bragged about eating meat. i totally bought into meat = macho thing. i wanted to be cool and not like other girls and be taken seriously.
i also did not cook. i hated cooking. i have adhd, im medicated, and i still fucking hate it.
i hated eating vegetables.
i only used to eat potatoes, frozen meals and some kind of meat tossed into the pan or into the oven.
i have quite a few sensory issues regarding food, so most vegetables were disgusting to me.
i hated vegans.
i loved animals.
i was mad that vegans existed, with their holier than thou attitude, pretending to be better, eating shit like agave syrup and quinoa and fake vegan meat even tho its all just bullshit.
and now? ive been vegan for over two years. i learned to cook. i learned to love vegetables.
i still mainly eat a lot of potatoes and frozen meals and yes, fake vegan meat that i only have to toss into a pan or in the oven, because cooking is still awful.
i can basically eat the EXACT same things i did when i wasnt vegan.
i can be 100% lazy. i dont need to eat veggies if i didnt wanna. there is no need to eat agave syrup or quinoa or whatever. fast food stores have vegan options.
for many people it would be absolutely trivial to go vegan. even if u cant cook or hate veggies.
it IS POSSIBLE. you can go vegan. even if u love meat and hate veggies. i could do it.
When vegans say "You can still be (disabled, poor, ect) and vegan!" It's not meant as a guilt trip. What were trying to do is remove barriers to making an ethical decision on consumption. If youre eating meat bc it tastes good you can say that. And if that sounds like a jackass move, well, I think you already know that you should go vegan, don't need me to "pressure you" about it.
