My point is just that.
Vegetarian: do everything the same, just don't put meat in your dishes
Vegan: your whole paragraph.
You need to find substitutes for milk to benefit of the additives and need to try out. Took me a long time to find a milk substitute I like. Soy based stuff can cover for Calcium, but soy based stuff is rare in a lot of western diets, so you need to experiment.
That's my whole point. Certainly it is doable, but not as plug and play as a vegetarian diet. And, when you don't try the stuff mentioned in your paragraph and mine, you might run into issues, especially with children. That's what I am saying, that's a subjunctive.
I mean it was like one sentence hardly challenging? I’ve been vegan for over a decade and been round most of the west, where doesn’t have a ton of plant milks? The only struggle is out of comfort.
Just going veggie and cutting out a major source of your nutrients without considering a replacement is far more dangerous than simply switching to readily available vegan alternatives.
