I'm sorry I don't mean to be dismissive, there is definitely truth to what you're saying and there are definitely privileged people that brag about it but it's something I struggle with so I thought I'd add my perspective. I got banned from the vegan comm right after saying I agree with veganism on principle but that I take whatever free food I can get from the hot bar at work when it's going to be thrown away despite being raised vegan.
That sucks I know how it is to deal with appetite issues and depression as well. I think part of that comes from the fact that I was raised vegan by parents that didn't really know how to do it properly. I always had cravings for anything rich in protein. I think I was malnourished as a child as a result.
I'm poor as fuck and it's really hard to keep weight on. Being underweight is a problem that gets overlooked and/or dismissed as being "lucky".
