Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    I can barely afford Perkins let alone a vegan restaurant.

    Having morals is not cheap. I feel for you having to see other people eat food they can afford, that must be really hard, but a lot of people literally DON’T have the luxury, calorie to dollar, to be vegan. And no, eating rice and beans every day is not an acceptable diet.

      Uh… Was this in response to the right post? I am not vegan nor do I wish to be and I never mentioned anything about rice and beans…
