Having sex with a carnist is borderline zoophilia and necrophilia. Imagine putting your dick inside (or being dicked by) an individual who has animal corpse pieces floating inside their system. Eeeeeeeeew.

People often claim that plant-based eating is 'elitist' or 'too expensive' without any solid reasoning or explanation. So I am genuinely curious how your grocery expenditure changed after your shift towards a plant-based diet.

I personally think that India is probably one of the best places for a vegan, especially if you love cooking. We've got so many diverse, whole-food options here that are more affordable compared to other countries (whole grains, fruits, seasonal veggies, nuts, seeds, seasonings, etc.).

I personally am saving money by adopting a plant-based diet and using those savings to buy more healthy food to diversify my diet. Vegan protein powders are significantly cheaper than whey protein. I've completely stopped eating out too because it's way too expensive these days (plus I don't trust restaurants in India anymore).

Even when I was living in England, I was spending 30-50% less on food compared to non-vegans around me, while still having a relatively clean diet and consuming 150-200 g of protein each day. Most of the stuff in the supermarket was a bit packaged and processed in some way, though. But I still never exceeded my budget by sticking to staples like pasta, noodles, frozen fruits and veggies, cooking sauces, tofu/tempeh/seitan/TVP and rice. There were a lot of vegan junk food options too (which I now miss thoroughly), but I restricted them to occasional binging.

Eager to hear your thoughts.
