Yes, again, you are excusing your being complicit in this because of your need for a luxury. You know full well that adding CO2 to the atmosphere is not a good thing. You just want to feel like you don’t contribute.
And as far as your righteous veganism goes, I bet you aren’t even considering the vast amount of carbon that is needed to farm and ship all the plants and possibly fungi you eat that can’t be grown in your area.
Or are you now going to claim you only eat locally-sourced vegan food at farmer’s markets in enough bulk to survive the winter?
And then we get into the spices. If you claim you only use local herbs when you cook, I won’t believe you.
Sorry, you help contribute massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere as well. You just want to blame everyone but yourself.
There is a difference between sustainable, non-sustainable, and catastrophically unsustainable; and it’s an important difference.
Having a locavore diet is very easy where I live, except for vitamin B12 supplements which are not locally sourced or made. I don’t know what you mean by “survive the winter”, it’s not an issue where I live. I only use salt and turmeric when I prepare food - tho some processed food I buy contains other spices.
So about 0.272 tonnes of CO2e per year per https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-much-ton-carbon-dioxide ?
Of a total of about “2.1 tonnes per person annual emissions budget necessary by 2050 to meet the 2 °C climate target (Girod et al 2014)” per https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541#erlaa7541r22 (Girod 2014 seems to be paywalled).
That total seems below the 2.1 tonnes of CO2e per year sustainable target per person by 2050.

Good thing a ton of carbon wasn’t used to get that salt and turmeric to you.
Oh wait, it was.
Also that processed food, half of that came from across the planet.
But hey, you have to have your luxuries, so everyone else has to sacrifice.
