panasonicyouth:weexist-weresist:mirkwood:vegangirls:Photographer Glenn Thomas is doing a short project where he eats his meals vegan, and he eats them cheap. Showing it’s not only possible, but easy. Take that, privilege police.And if you have texture sensitivities and find it difficult to eat some of these things?Fuck you, privilege denier.i am so tired of vegansnot everyone has the same access to food or the same time to get the same things nor does anything particularly give a shit about contributing to symbolic resistanceEXACTLY. BAM. ugh so tired of this.also please give me all of that food FUCK I AM HUNGRY.I decided not to respond to this the first time it crossed my dash, but…I’d just like to point out that if you go the website for this project and read the complete list of food items purchased here, you find that Mr. Thomas had to go to FIVE, count ‘em! Five!, different locations in order to acquire all this food at the prices he did. Prices that, even if I did go to FIVE different locations just to do one week’s shopping, I wouldn’t be able to find locally where I am. That is a PRIVILEGE. To have that many locations, to have the time and ability to go to them, to plan out all the things that are most on sale, to have the time to home-cook all these meals.Also, I couldn’t bearably eat only from that pile of food for a whole week. It 1) wouldn’t actually be enough for 6 small meals a day for me, 2) would get old after three days because I actually don’t like rice or noodles THAT much and 3) would take an astronomical amount of time to cook that many meals from scratch every day.So yeah. Still saying it.Being able to practice veganism is a privilege. It’s unreasonable to be able to expect it of everyone. There are lots of good reasons to be vegan, if it is an option for you. But don’t shame other people for their food choices. They’re often making them for good reason. -- source link
