I’m starting to think the problem for a lot of people is that they just flat out don’t know how to cook vegetarian/vegan dishes.
I’m thinking a lot of them are imaging some kind of hypothetical “cooked to perfection” meat dish with lots of spices and sauce vs like…cold, uncooked beans straight out of the can.
I’m not vegan, but like…it isn’t hard to prepare a nice tasting vegan meal, going vegan doesn’t mean a person has to live a spartan culinary existence where food is for bland sustenance and nothing else.
Absolutely, a huge amount of it is food culture. I remember seeing advice an reddit to do rule of thirds on your plate and I realized how limiting that is, and how much more difficult it’d be to make veggie meals. Unfortunately it’s the only way many people recognize a meal, and the jump from a heap of chicken on your plate to a heap of beans is much larger than the jump from a lentil curry with chicken to a lentil curry without.
