I was vegan for years until my disability benefits got stopped. Now I'm going through an appeal and have no money. My overdraft is maxxed out. The food banks takes so long to access, but when they do give me food I eat whatever they give as I'm so hungry, whether it's cheese, chicken soup or whatever. Beggars can't be choosers. I now realise what a huge luxury being able to choose your own food is. I've even tried begging for financial aid on hexbear and even in the street, no-one will help. So now I eat whatever i can get.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practicable — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
You've been forced into a terrible choice by the Saw trap of capitalism. That's not your fault. Do what you have to do to survive until you're in a better place.
Bump. Sending love fam. Wish i could send something material
