Yet black people are more likely to be vegan, 8% of black Americans are vegetarians/vegans - opposed to the 3% of the rest of the population. Ironically I went vegan in the worst period of my life when I was jobless and almost moneyless - while doing groceries I figured out that I could replace meat and some dairy products with food that costs less and is arguably healthier and that doesn't expire in two days in the fridge. What a lot of people fail to realize is that vegan food is not just fancy exotic expensive avocados and seitan and Brazil nuts. All the vegetables, legumes and cereals people already eat every day are the pillars of a plant-based diet, and meat in comparision is fucking expensive. Seriously do you even do groceries? This stupid idea that veganism is costly is just white people bs and I hate how it often comes with the tokenizations of the black community suffering worst material conditions

All of these "go vegan" posts have an implicit "if you have money and means to do so" at their end.
Often explicit, tbh, but it's still not good enough for some reason.
