the most “feelable” effect would be that vegan and/or vegetarian options are now a must for every restaurant owner who knows what he is doing.

As a life-long lacto-ovo vegetarian, this is one of my favourite things. There are so many options now. When I was a kid, the options were few, and you never went out to restaurants (unless they were super specific weirdo niche vegetarian/vegan restaurants) because there weren’t any options for you.

MacDonalds had a vegetarian burger here for a while, but they discontinued that after a while because it wasn’t popular. Max, another fast food chain here, now has like three different vegan patties, and one vegetarian one, and there are dozens of burger/whatever variations. It’s amazing and makes me feel like a normal person.

I was never a huge fan of the gluten free/vegan/whatever trends, but I’m so glad for the positive effects they had on food culture as a whole.
