RE: Convince Me Challenge Results and Anti-Vegan Arguments
thanks for your reply =) May I ask, why is it more expensive for you to be vegan?

Clean fresh food cannot be bought at one meal or one day's meals in sizes that do not waste. And nor sizes that are affordable. I live often without the expense of air-conditioner, do Vegans? Meaning, I do not have a freezer. Bread is not bread, but made with water and sugar and preservatives. No freezer. I buy a little meat and cook it once a week. That is savoury with steamed veg. Salad is not eaten often because I've neither garden, pots, not green fingers. Fruit I can get in abundance, old 'fresh' from supermkt, or off the local farm, if someone is passing them. I don't drive most days. And farming farms are over five miles away, so they are not that readily available. Sometimes salads are available if one of the retirees gives me over abundance from his allotment. To buy bananas for instance, when they are grown in the region can be done from farmgate but not outside farmgate unless in shop, where they have been cold stored for 'how' long¿ and still not edible for up to three days after buying. In my locale, raspberries are available all year round, but not necessarily without great time and expense. I cannot do the mathes to eat balanced meals, and therefore cannot buy a day's worth. I live healthily Thank-you. I've on walkabout, eaten worms, grubs, lizards, frogs, birds, crocodile, camel, cow, goat, donkey, horse, Kangaroo, snake, and things I don't want to think about, that I am assured had active ingredients and/or protein. My ancestors bred and stole cattle since we were gods, before the dawn of our present history. If you want to be Vegan, that's grand, more meat for my family. If you want to prepare meals for my family, what would you take in barter? 😇
If your wish, your ideal came to pass, abreq ad habra, half the world would starve, mostly not because the world lacks food, but having taken their usual food and their livelihood, you have begun a war, and the aftermath of war is death and famine and disease. So wishes have to be approached objectively. The rich, lazy westerners will not countenance your taking their livelihood nor their meat. So get an educated politician ( oxymoron, I know, but) and raise awareness of all vegetarians to join with all vegans, to apply pressure via gov't. Absolutely no good trying to apply your ideal to more than one individual at a time at this level, because their unbalanced karma is such they mostly cannot afford monetarily or time-wise to apply your principles. Perhaps get together with like minds and begin a cheap and inexpensive vegan and vegetarian restaurant with cafe and savoury take-aways that are cheaper and less expensive for an individual than shopping and preparing themselves. Today, economics and convenience rule, ok
