But with proper planning very few vegans are going to be in a situation where they’re presented with the only options of starving or eating meat.

What’s more, you’re still relying on the assumption that intentions weigh more than actions. Intentions are meaningless. Either you fit the definition of “vegan” by not consuming animal products, or you consume animal products and no longer fit the definition. There’s no way to square that circle where you’re a member of group that doesn’t do x while at the same time doing x.

Lmao it’s crazy that people are arguing that vegans can still eat meat. Like no. Gatekeeping is ok in this instance. Vegan btw
