People love to call veganism ‘privileged,’ while conveniently ignoring the fact that the only reason animal products are even close to being accessible for the average consumer is because they’re factory farmed, slaughtered and packed by grossly underpaid labourers working in dangerous conditions, and then massively subsidised by all of our taxes.
I’ve lived in a dessert, and there’s no shortage of fruit, dates, olives, bread, carrots, onions, beans, rice, cabbage, beets, and all the veggies you need at the local market
Hell, israel has the highest number of vegans per capita than any country, and most of the diet is Whole Foods.
I was referring to this concept: https://sentientmedia.org/food-desert/
Ah. Right. Then its basically pasta and bread and peanut butter. Maybe bananas or canned corn or something if you’re lucky
If you read the article there, you’ll notice that it’s more complicated.
I’ve also read a bunch of papers on it and it’s not as simple as access. People have desires (often influenced by advertising and culture) and a certain segment of the planetary population believes that cooking is beneath them, so that it’s someone else (very shitty) job to feed them while the hustle and grind to win the Dream.
