I ask this in good faith, and I do not mean to bring about struggle sessions with this question (keep it civil, please :). I'm writing a sort of mini-essay on a certain topic (Edit: not anymore, I lost my writing appetite), and veganism fits into that topic (I'm keeping it vague because I'll probably post it here and I don't want to spoil the whole thing). If people are on the fence and others want to know more about what Veganism is and why they should consume in that way, I would be grateful if others more experienced and well-read on the subject could provide resources or counter-reasons. I feel like a lot of the things I believed before going vegan turned out to be misconceptions, and it doesn't hurt to be more educated on a subject, right?

Edit: I need to take a break from the internet again, if my brain wasn't fried already it is now (not anything any of you started, I brought this upon myself)

    I have been, and i will be again when my mental health improves and i have the energy to make food for myself, my partners not vegan and they really enjoy cooking meat so i end up eating a bit. Oh and theres lactine or whatever dairy derivative in some medication i take. But you cant be perfect. I just do what i can.

    I wish vegan ice cream wasnt so expensive, ive recently re-discovered cut frozen fruit is pretty good though.

      Seriously, why hasn't any company released tubs of vegan ice cream, they would make so much money sadness. Cut frozen fruit is delicious though (and more healthy so I'm glad I was pushed in that direction), blend it with some soy (or other plant) milk and it makes a nice, sweet, and cold treat.

        I've got like 3 tubs of vegan ice cream in my freezer rn. They're made with coconut milk and genuinely taste way better than the dairy kind.

          True, I actually started getting vegan ice cream before I went Vegan. I just thought it tasted better, and it didn't upset my stomach as much.

            Omg, there's this lemon vanilla one that tastes like a lemon meringue pie and it's something else
