I was a vegan over the summer. My mom was okay buying the soy milk and Boca burgers, but eventually she came to me and said “do you have any idea how much this stuff costs?”

I had to stop when I went back to college because I’m a poor college student who can barely afford normal food; I still try to cut as many animal products out as possible, but it’s hard because vegan-friendly food is so much more expensive.

I just want to find a solution that allows me to do what I believe is right without bankrupting me.
