Vegetarians who say this shit say they enjoy getting encouragement from vegans, but they actually just want a pat on the back and brownie points from susceptible vegans, not actual encouragement.
This is the greatest encouragement I can give them, but because it’s in an “aggressive” tone, they love to say “You’re the reason why people shy away from going vegan!”
Sorry to tell ya, but if some harsh words promoting the very ideological foundation of veganism are enough to discourage you, then you clearly don’t have a plan to “transition” to veganism to begin with.
Imagine telling someone “You really need to stop being fucking racist.” and then they say “Ugh! I’m working on it! You being so pushy makes me want to be more racist actually!”
The cheese rots into their brains apparently.
If they have a concrete plan like “I’ve bought these cook books, I’m doing N meals this week increasing by 1 each week till X when it’s over, all convience food or eating out I do is plant based” I’m like, alright but here’s some lazy slow cooker stews if you feel pressed for time to learn how to cook?
If they’re just “reducing” and not even tracking what they’re eating I’m like K, well let me know when it’s done but till then you’re still just a carnist in my eyes.
Surprisingly nobody I’ve spoken to has ever had a concrete plan except my little sis after years of vague concern and excuses.
The dogs I care for transitioned faster than any “transitioners” and they had way more gut biome changes and palate changes than a human.
