~*~*~*~*~veganism isn’t accessible to everyone for a lot of reasons, so sfu *~**~*~*~*~*~**

~*~*~yay classism~*~*~

Secondly, why veganism is cheaper than an omnivore diet and why that isn’t excuse ( I’ll be concise):

Every grocery store and many convience stores carrie the following which allot to a sustainable vegan diet. Cans of beans (roughly .$50-$3.00), fresh vegetables ($.10-$4.00lb), canned vegetables (roughly the same price as beans). Pasta $.79-? Per box)

Bam! Vegan diet.

When I first went vegan (and vegetarian) I made very very little money and had no outside financial support towards my food. And I did very well and took care of myself and remained healthy without the needs to external vitamin supplements. Not everyone may have the same health conditions, but many particular health concerns can be taken care of by altering your diet and if you are willing to spend the money on the pharmaceuticals to fix it, you can spend the money on better food. And I made some killer recipes just eating that kind of food.

It’s when people buy into the idea of veganism that it becomes expensive. Buying things that say vegan and eating lots of processed vegan foods and fake meats. But any walk of life can live n a vegan diet. Many under privileged children only get meals at school and schools HAVE to provide for the specific requirements of a students diet, etc.

Financial Limitations are not an excuse not to be vegan.
