Meat digestion

[Diana]

This is actually quite insane, the general public isn't aware of that. Maybe in some sub-conscious form they are..

Regarding dairy, I actually tripped and went back to consuming some products containing dairy/eggs. I have no real excuse, but I'm quite a bad cook, and a lazy one. I ate only grains with nothing extra, almost every product contains dairy or eggs, it sometimes feels unnecessary, like they do it on purpose. So unless more people eat vegan the grocery stores won't bring in goods that are vegan. I still don't buy regular milk though, it seems pointless as I have many other available alternatives to that.

It's easy to eat vegan (regarding one's own shopping and meal prep). It becomes challenging when dining out or with friends and family, but that doesn't have to be a huge problem. And all the grocery stores I visit have some vegan "meat substitutes" and "vegan dairy products" if that is wanted.

The general public is more aware than ever of the problems the meat and dairy industry cause to people and the planet (and of course the animals). It's just that everyone is so busy with so much to do, I think this information overwhelms them. They probably can't face another learning curve (and who can blame them in this day and age).

The first thing to do is shift thinking: instead of planning a meal around meat, plan it around a grain or vegetable or pasta or anything plant-based. This is a big shift because we are taught to plan meals around the meat. The second thing to get away from is packaged foods (as mentioned above almost everything has eggs and/or dairy in it). The upside is a way healthier diet.

And ultimately, if there is a strong enough reason to do something, a person will do it.
