I guess by that definition I'd be an aspiring vegan :))
The issue isn't access to raw ingredients, when we have the time my gf and I do cook vegan food (we made a vegan butter "chicken" just a few days ago). The issue is when we go to a restaurant or order takeaway due to work obligations and being super busy, there are no vegan options and normally 1 vegetarian option laden with cheese.
I am definitely a hard-liner when it comes to meat. I do find it harder to be such a hard-liner with other animal products, even though I'm aware of the conditions in dairy factory farms. I do agree with you, I'm just saying it's difficult.
