    What are you on about.

    It sounds like your saying vegan sausages distract from building class consciousness. Surely not, because that sounds as dumb as a bag of bricks.

      We’re all too broke to be spend 50-100% more on vegan food when we are stuck in a capitalist hellscape.

      Eating is a need, eating ethically is a nice idea when rent/mortgage, utilities aren’t taking up 70-80% of people’s paychecks.

        I can buy a $1.70 bag of mixed beans, throw it in the instant pot with $4 of veggies, and have enough food for most of a week. What are you on about?

          Yeah, this is such a bizarre position, so detached from the reality of what rice and beans, lentils, chick peas etc. cost.

          I enjoy some vegan prepared products like steaks etc. But fried rice with veggies and cashews or tofu (or both of you’re feeling flush) is hardly a bank breaker.
