Not everyone can go vegan.
THE VEGAN HAS ENTERED THE CHAT.
Agreed. Reality is welcome here.
People face very different situations. Money, where you live, health needs, disability, school or work meals and caring for a family all shape what you can eat. Judging someone as if none of that exists would be unfair. But one person’s barrier doesn’t mean nobody with more options should change anything. It means we should talk about what’s actually doable, and push for better access and choices for everyone. No purity tests here. If you have medical needs, get personal advice from a professional. Admitting that not everyone has the same options makes this conversation more honest, not less meaningful.
THE KEY DISTINCTION
Different situations call for different steps, not a purity test.
