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.

        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.
