Western veganism is a diet of privilege and science. Without money, you can't be a vegan here. Without science, you can't be a vegan at all.

"lel without science you couldn't breathe cuz oxygen is science." We'd be born without science. We could eat without science. We could organize a diet without science. Stop trying to make science into some enabling deity. Science is an ever-changing philosophy. "Science, bitch!" now is one thing and awhile back, science was black people are inferior or if your mom was a slut who banged a lot of dudes, over the years, their combined semen was thought to predict your birth defects. There's no difference between some street preacher saying we're gonna burn in Hell when the rapture happens on X date and scientists saying in 1960s that there's a new ice age or in 1989 that California would be underwater by 2000.
