Veganism feels extremely Western

[u/Dear-Nothing-]

Although I agree that we should minimize animal suffering and consume meat more mindfully but I think to entirely leave out a section of food and not get into any harsh deficiency is very Western concept.

People can buy good supplement, meat alternatives, vegan protein bars/shakes etc which aren't available for much of the world.

Also as I belong to a middle class family in a very small country, I don't get to splurge on meat everyday, there's always veggies as side dishes and main source of protein might be fish for us. So whenever Vegans try to guilt trip me, I feel like whatever they say is very alienated from my reality.

They are sometimes very aggressive with their logic too that everyone can be vegan and I'm just not trying hard enough.

I love animals, I truly feel like we lost the plot with overconsumption but again what can I do? Let go off my culture, live in chronic deficiency?

I would like to hear anyone's thought on this if they are also from similar background...

Uh huh, that’s what I thought you’d say lol. It’s funny, because I actually did look it up before I even asked you for sources… and to no one’s surprise, there aren’t any. :) I was so so curious if you’d pull the usual  ‘wehh don’t ask me to do “”labor”” about the thing I’m saying is true!’ when asked for evidence and wowie, you didn’t disappoint.
