I could be wrong, but the French people I've met have been the most resistant to going vegan than any race I've even met. It's like all the pigeon and frog and goose they're eating causes them to be unable to eat tofu.
Reminds me of this [cw: mention of f*sting]
oh, you did not mean fasting lmao
I didn't even think of that
Dead laughing now
I'd rather fist than fast, tbh
I thought the same
I've met plenty of Spanish people who seemingly can't comprehend that chicken isn't vegetarian.
There's fucking Ortolan that is so shameful it's traditional to put the napkin over your head to hide what the fuck you're actually doing
Can confirm, vegans are an ultra minority here.
One explanation that I find interesting is that all the people who have the right mindset to go vegan in the US do find animal products that are produced by actual farmers in France. In the US that's impossible from what I know. So basically if you hate cruelty you can buy chicken at the local farmer so you know they had an ok life before slaughter.
I know that veganism has a definition of animal rights that go beyond "ethical farming" but veganism is also least present in the countries where people are actually confronted with animal death for consumption at an early age. The state of the USian food industry makes it so much more obvious to just cut animal products because they're all produced so horribly
Americans worship the constitution, europeans worship their local cuisine. it's dumb but everytime i talk about veganism to someone here they act like i'm talking about bombing their hometown
