since vegan fare is pretty limited, i think the first thing is that vegans don't eat nearly as much fast food. they probably eat out less overall. which is going to require a lifestyle that carves out time at home to cook or meal prep.

Maybe the restaurants you go to have fewer options, but vegans go to restaurants that have things they can eat, and practically every restaurant has options now. French fries, for example, are a fast food item that’s usually vegan.

so you think vegans eat as much fast food as non vegans
