The best thing for a vegan to do is to keep being a vegan. Seriously, just keep on doing it.

It doesn't mean evangelise, it doesn't mean denigrate, it means just carry on doing what works for you.

If you're insulting other folks, or trying to push a lifestyle, odds are folks don't dislike you because you're vegan.

idk, I'm a meat eater and if it wasn't for vegans evangelizing I really wouldn't know how messed up meat production is. We allow some seriously cruel shit to fellow sentient beings, far beyond just killing them, and no one wants to think about it.

You definitely have a point; informing and evangelising are closer than we'd like to admit. Then again, the messenger is often as important as the message - in the case of the vegan debate too many folks choose the moral option rather than the pragmatic one.

As a species, we find it hard to empathise with the death of our own at massive scales, why would we be capable of doing it for organisms we were brought up to consider food?

However, almost all of us are on a massively reduced budget, it'd be a shame if folks shared delicious recipes that can be made cheaply and just so happen to be vegan right?

The next best thing for a non-vegan to do isn't to switch right away, it's to start finding vegan things you enjoy more than meat!

Eating a whole foods plant based diet is 30% cheaper

“Oxford University research has today revealed that, in countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and across Western Europe, adopting a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian diet could slash your food bill by up to one-third.”

“The study, which compared the cost of seven sustainable diets to the current typical diet in 150 countries, using food prices from the World Bank’s International Comparison Program, was published in The Lancet Planetary Health.”

Sorry, best thing for a vegan to do in order to do what?

Oh, that boat's long since sailed, but I appreciate the thought

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Sorry to hear that, I hope things start looking up in the future.

Happy trails!
