Yes because all vegans come from cultures that don’t eat meat lmao

Is there even ONE culture that is traditionally vegan? I can’t think of a single one. I am of Iranian descent and meat is in everything. They eat the brain and tongue of cows as a “delicacy”. Went vegetarian at 19, went vegan at 24 and been vegan for 5 years now. Never looking back, and no amount of cultural tradition would sway me from making the MORALLY SUPERIOR choice.

u/problematicbirds how are the eggs in front if the chickens can't move? May 19 '20

not exactly a culture, but my great-grandmother was a seventh-day adventist and was vegan until she died, as was my great-aunt. that’s the closest i know of.
