frequently throughout the day, which leads to weight gain.
Lastly being vegan requires a lot of meal preparation and more time in the kitchen than any other diet. The majority of restaurants aren’t vegan friendly and the few vegan restaurants are very expensive. So this means that if you’re vegan you lose the right to go out and you have to spend a great deal of your free time in the kitchen. On that note, costs can add up quickly if you buy vegan alternatives, like nondairy cheese and imitation meat products. Therefore veganism can be out of reach to certain people because of its huge price tag.
When weighing the pros and the cons of veganism, we might find
ourselves in a dilemma because there are valid reasons on both
sides of this argument. But there is a solution that doesn't put you
in the black or white but is more of a grey area. Since both veganism
and regular, substantial meat consumption will lead to severe food
shortages, a lacto-vegetarian diet (vegetarian that consumes eggs
and dairy) may be the most efficient way to maintain sufficient
nutrition across the globe in the long run. Reducing our meat consumption is a good start. Trying to eat meat only once a week and slowly backing away from it is more suitable for people globally. Lacto-vegetarianism diets can feed more people, therefore making them more environmentally sustainable. Instead of going cold turkey (!) vegan, there are simpler, more accessible ways to make a positive change for your diet and the environment.
