Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.

Another one of my restaurants that i go to for vegan food sometimes (cooking is hard) unwittingly gave me food with meat in it. I struggle so much with cooking and long work hours, but fuck man.

Yeah it's a genuine struggle unless the restaurant is explicitly vegan. A lot of restaurant workers (at least where I live) are often unfamiliar with what vegan means and might not be able to answers questions about menu items. I've been handed fish before at a restaurant after saying I'm vegan, then I reiterated how I'm vegan, and the staff said to me "Oh, you're also pescatarian?" I wasn't annoyed though, I just get sad because it means we have a lot of meat eating culture to break through.

Honestly I don't blame them though. I don't blame wait staff for not understanding, or maybe not having the cultural background to know about veganism. Or they're overworked or simply don't know how some food are prepared. It feels like it's our job to continue our work to make veganism more well known. If people don't understand us, then we still have work to do. I don't believe in just dismissing people who've only known carnism their whole lives. Veganism can show them that an alternative exists.

But I agree with you too, veganism has really helped me appreciate my own cooking. It's helped me appreciate simpler, cheaper meals as well. The simplicity of beans, rice, and some vegetables is really soothing to me now.
