I decided I would be willing to date a non-vegan since despite the conveniences and shared ethics of other vegans, it can be hard to find them in general, and maybe I could influence people positively, though probably without any expectation for them to go vegan (but still hoping society will move toward it one day anyway).
But online questions asking people (non-vegans) if they would date a vegan really shocked and surprised me when most of the answers were no, mostly for reasons of inconvenience and a fear of being pulled into veganism. This leaves me feeling like finding other vegans may be my only option after all. Is this somewhat accurate?
Dated a vegan and eating out around here is impossible. It’s 30-45 minutes to drive to the next town where there are vegan options.
Not a deal breaker, but it’s tough.
Eating out is… Impossible™ :) (it’s a brand of plant-based alternatives)
In all seriousness though, I usually have options in any restaurants I go to, at least where I live. So presumably the issue of vegan options while eating out would be a non-issue in my case.
She got me an Impossible burger at Burger King and it was straight revolting. We had just got back from my camp in the swamp and I was starving!
I do indeed like that Kind stuff!
But yeah, in this redneck burb, we couldn’t find anywhere but a tiny coffee shop to get anything vegan.
