That's such bullshit. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are vegan. So
are fruit salad, spaghetti marinara, sorbet, baked potatoes, sourdough
bread, fresh summer watermelon, popcorn, gazpacho, margaritas, a ripe
tomato drizzled with olive oil and topped with basil and roasted garlic,
and on and on. SO many delicious foods.

I'm not a vegan any more, but every time I hear someone spout this "Oh,
I would die rather than eat vegan food" crap, I just feel so dismissive.
You eat vegan food all the time. It hasn't killed you yet.
