I had cheese put into my food before, but now I was given meat-meat and not only once but twice (different places).
It wasn’t even by people not understanding what veganism is, it was just a very blatant swap.
Sure, I got money back, but I’m wondering: has the acceptance of vegans gone down and malice towards us gone up? I would’ve thought it would’ve gotten better over time.
I’m asking because I’m so far removed from the vegan community I forget I’m vegan because the store being “empty” for me is the norm, as is checking labels etc; I’ve no clue whether other vegans are facing similar issues as of late.
Definitely not blaming you. I guess I don’t have this problem as most of the places I visit are vegan. Maybe I’m lucky as there are more options in my city. If it makes you feel any better, I accidentally bought the real pork version of something cuz I was tired, and ate two bites because before I realised.
Thanks for the effort you’re putting in. Things will get better in the future.
I used to live somewhere with vegan places, but I now live in a country which seems to have high “flexi”-veganism (carnists opting to buy some vegan stuff) rate, which seemingly also translates into there being practically no vegan places, but more of mixed places. I will be leaving this place in the near future.
I love my butt bidet. You’ve a great nickname.
