I know I’m fuckin on one tonight but I wanna bitch about (some) vegans. I think about two arguments a lot in response to the “anyone can be vegan if ur not vegan ur a selfish piece of shit I hope u die staring into the eyes of the cow that produced the milk that made that cheese you ate on September 6, 2011.” like obviously when vegans talk like that they’re being classist as fuck, among other things, but I think about two aspects of ableism and general asshole-ery that go into it was well:

1.) some ppl are literally so mentally ill/disabled that they don’t have the time, resources, energy, physical ability, etc, to plan, prepare, and fund a healthy, balanced vegan lifestyle. and u know what happens when u eat a poorly planned vegan diet and aren’t getting adequate nutrients on top of mental and/or physical illness? u get sicker!!!!!!!
wow!!!!!
2.) people recovering from (particularly, restrictive) eating disorders….like do i even need to elaborate? when ur coming back from having had 1001 rules about food, what u can and can’t eat and when, the LAST thing u need is to set more rules for yourself. and like “it doesn’t restrict u!!” ya!! it fucking does!! when you’re learning how to eat again and you don’t know how to cook a fucking egg, let alone make cruelty-free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks that suit your meal plan, you’re mentally and maybe physically not able to care for yourself in a vegan way. end of story. maybe one day, long into recovery, but not at the moment.

long story short I’m soooo fucking tired of vegans shaming ppl who can’t go vegan right now or maybe ever. it’s so fucking lame and gross. being vegan takes a lot that some people don’t fucking have and I’m tired of (mostly) well-off white vegans running their granola-breath mouths tbh
