At a hospital again. I woke up to stinky meat next to me. They told me they don’t have vegan food. They’re very ostensibly rude about this. Had to listen to a long tirade from the room"mate" about how carnism is natural.

I’m in a lot of pain which makes me really irritable. I really didn’t need to be made to gag with the meat.

Last time I was in a hospital they would throw meat into my food as well making sure it touched everything so I wasn’t able to eat the veggies without the corpse taste.

I don’t get why people are so malicious about it. I’m trying not to cry not to give them satisfaction. I am vegan for moral reasons. This is extremely uncomfortable.

    “It’s natural” is such a weak argument, plenty of bad things are found abundantly in nature. Disease, cannibalism, ionizing radiation. All extremely natural

      I don’t even care about the argument much. I find it ridiculous that growing up people get told to eat more veggies and fruit, because it’s healthy for you, but then you get scrutinized for doing so. And how come a hospital has no such healthy food? Is meat ham and cow yoghurt really good for someone recovering? I have a hard time believing they’re particularly nutritious. Idk if it’s just me but I always saw ham as poverty meat as afaik it’s made of the worst parts of the corpse.

        in my head, it would only make sense for it to “help you recover” if the type of damage you had was physical as youd typically have enough protein to aid in recovery.
