I don’t think it’s super easy on an individual basis. I think for regular people it’ll be a really difficult transition. However, given the solutions we’re coming up with, and with the effects we’re having on the environment … it’s definitely easier relatively speaking.
I think that even cutting meat out a few days a week or going vegetarian than full-blown vegan would have a great effect too. Probably both on health and the environment.
Change is often difficult, but going vegan isn’t a change that I’d say is too hard, or even a little hard, for most people.
20 years ago, it was fairly easy to transition. And that was with a complete lack of resources, or the multitude of dairy-free, meat-free, and vegan products we now see available in pretty much any store and restaurant.
There are also so many organizations these days that can help with the transition, lay out meal plans, etc. It honestly couldn’t be easier, especially when you consider that most people would also be saving money by cutting out animal products from their diet.
Yes, go vegan a few days a week if that helps (most find a slow transition to be more difficult). See how easy it is. Then go full vegan.
If we didn’t have a global climate crisis to deal with, then it might not be as pressing of an issue. But it really is something we all ought to be doing at a bare minimum. As soon as possible.
