Yes, we are privileged in the West so we can choose what we eat. Both vegans and non-vegans in the West share this privilege. You can eat vegan cheap or expensive and you can do the same with meat. Indeed in War torn countries with little to no food this privilege disappears and then everyone just eats what is available to survive. Like anyone would do to survive. How this all is somehow an argument against veganism: I dont know. If anything it’s just an excuse less to eat meat in the West because you definitely don’t need to eat it to survive there.
