Some people unfortunately do not have access to good vegan options. That being said, people can reduce their consumption of red meat significantly and make an impact.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
vegan options? like produce, grains, and legumes? are you in a food desert yourself?
the "vegan options" you're referring to are at the supermarket, and they are the cheapest items in there.
@hansl @ElcaineVolta most people have access to beans, rice, and canned vegetables. If you can find nutritional yeast, then you're really in business
Vegan food is not some special, hard-to-access category of food, it's just food without animals. A lot of what you already eat is probably accidentally vegan: https://www.reddit.com/r/accidentallyvegan
Either you live in the west where you get vegan options right in the store.
Or you don't in which case meat isn't naturalised as much and you have plenty of vegan dishes right from the get go.
