    material conditions wouldn’t be able to provide proper protein sources. ideally we would just be mass producing artificial or lab grown meat using renewable energy

      I didn't ask "why isn't everyone vegan?", I asked "why aren't you vegan?"

          But... you're vegetarian? What does protein have to do with it? Like you get all your protein from eggs or something? A cup of beans is 16g of protein vs the 7 grams in an egg. I don't follow.

            you’re probably right that i could find a way to be completely vegan, i live with my parents however and large changes to my diet would have to ge accessible thru the pantry we keep regularly

              Okay, but you gotta see how the bit about lab meat is a non sequitur there, in that case. "I can't do it because my parents buy the food" is fine, but framing it as being about protein intake is sort of odd.

      Why? It takes way fewer resources to grow plant proteins than animals.
