How often do you eat out?

Eating out is already complex. You have to take time out if your day to plan where to eat and maybe order a table, you have to coordinate with all your friends (presumably), you have to work out transportation, maybe parking, you have to walk a lot, you have to maybe look for directions or use Google Maps, you have to find the restaurant and then wait to get a table. Then you get the menu and you have to choose between sometimes over 100 options. At least when you're vegan, there are fewer options to choose from which makes it simpler. The food part is arguably the simplest part of the whole activity.

As for limiting your culinary scope, you probably only order spaghetti bolognese like the last time (jking). Of course, this is a frivilous thing compared to what meat entails. It's like you don't want to let go of slavery because it limits the variety of slaves and the richness of human labor. Slavery also makes things simpler. There is a long tradition with slavery stretching back many thousands of years, so many  cultures, so much wisdom, rituals and habits. It's a shame it all went to waste, right?

Stop being so logical and reasonable, it makes nonvegans very uncomfortable.

Recently learned that Buddha wasn't a vegetarian. Interesting.

I would say vegetarianism is arguably worse for the animals than nonveganism because dairy and eggs are products that come from animals kept alive for what they produce before they are killed instead of being killed at a young age for tender meat (or bones and other parts) for not being able to produce milk or eggs.

I would argue that vegetarians consume more dairy and eggs than nonvegans, because nonvegans often eat meat, as well as dairy and eggs.
