Honestly I've been vegan for over a year and a half now and it's really easy if you're not trying to replace non-vegan dishes with meat and dairy alternatives in some sort of frankenfood.

Most Indian and Chinese food is vegan, and you can easily check out Ethiopian, Mexican, Egyptian. It's a really new thing to eat meat every day and a lot of cultures don't eat dairy due to lactose.

For B12 I drink a lot of fortified soy milk since I still love creamy things, and use nutritional yeast for cheesy flavoured things.

It's been a slow transition for environmental reasons and I don't beat myself up if I slip up when out with friends. It's just one of those things like flying all the time that people can't imagine changing but when you do it's really not hard.

Be vegan, it's really easy and people get real loving defensive when called out about their lovely high consumption (environmentally or morally).

When I went vegan a year ago I realized most cultures have long traditions of vegan cooking due to poverty and lactose intolerance.

So now I cook mostly Indian and Chinese food and don't really have cravings for meat or cheese anymore. It's really not difficult. I used to eat meat for every single meal a few years ago and couldn't imagine how even vegetarians functioned..

Hell it's easier to get people to eat vegan than stop flying to tropical destinations multiple times a year which is objectively an easy luxury to give up.
