Dairy and eggs are what I'd struggle with if I tried to go vegan. I'd barely even notice meat missing—I love mushrooms, veggies, legumes, and tofu as the centerpieces of meals. Dairy and eggs are the part where I'd have to start making major modifications to how I cook and the sorts of things I can eat (or accept worse versions of the same thing). Eggs especially are hard to replace in a kitchen-chemistry sense, plus cheap, plus nutritionally valuable, plus store pretty well.
- Apocryphon 5y agoI mentioned dairy specifically because people tend to focus on the meat-avoiding aspect of veganism, but I don't think many think about the implications of the lack of milk and eggs for everything from being calcium and meatless protein sources, to its use in baking. Though I also wonder if cattle was no longer used as a meat source, but exclusively for milk, that might reduce the amount of resources required.
