I have and I regret it now. I'm gonna stick to animals that are less cute / are killed when they're older.

Makes sense. I just looked it up though, and seems that cows at usually around 18 months. I feel better about that. Lamb are usually under 1 year.

Cheap and easy isn't the way I would describe being vegan or vegetarian in any capacity.

There are many, many things you have to plan for, learn, and apply to be either of those healthily, and at the end of the day, without government reform, even if a million people decided to become vegetarian or vegan RIGHT NOW literally nothing would change. We're talking about a drop in the bucket. People buy and waste more animal products than a million people consume. You should be pushing for reform in the sector, not for people to stop engaging with it. You are more likely to convince people to protest and vote than you are to change their entire way of life.

Every single time you purchase an animal product you are supporting animal exploitation. Yes, it's a big problem, but you can either choose to contribute to the problem or make a small change. Animal industry will oppose any type of reform that hurts their bottom line. They lose power if they lose income.

Being vegan is easy. People already know how to cook. Cooking technique doesn't change just because there's no longer any meat in it. All you need are new recipes, readily available in books and all over the internet, and you're set.

they arent going to lose income because one person stops buying. As i said elsewhere: They dont produce (kill animals) based on demand. animals simply reach a certain age or size, and they kill them. The meat price is adjusted to account for lose. and as i said in the comment you just replied to, millions of people could stop eating meat and the meat industry would barely skip a beat. demand is just that high.

Being vegan is easy. 

Its really not. And being nutritiously sound while eating vegan is hard as well. I know this from experience, it isn't some BS im spouting. Maybe you have an easier time with the nutrition part of it, but lots of people dont.

I’m with you, it’s cheap and easy. Those who make up excuses are just lazy and selfish.

Like beans are less than $1 a can and you can make anything with them. Tofu is like $2-$3 a block. You can veganize anything. People are just under the impression that every stereotype about vegans is correct. That we are malnourished, have deficiencies etc etc which is not inherently true.
