Honestly a diet of just those foods sounds miserable - I'm also allergic to nuts so that's not an option either. Kudos to the people that decide to limit their diet so much to go vegan, but no one is obligated to do so. People are allowed to be excited that there is going to be a more ethical version of food they enjoy

So I want to clarify here, I know this is a tough subject. I hope to not make anybody feel uncomfortable when I'm sharing my opinion on the internet and if I did so I truly apologize.

People can do incredible things when they have the motivation. I.E. Felipe Nunes. He is a pro skateboarder who does not have legs. He could easily say, "i don't have legs, therefore skateboarding is not an option". Though, he had motivation to do it anyways. Right now, you might not have that motivation to do a thing, while knowing that thing is good. I have 27 years of eating meat, and 6 years of being vegan, i just didn't have any motivation to do it until a traumatic event shifting my perspective. Not everyone will go vegan, it would be cool, but it certainly is possible for a huge majority.
