what i wrote is that being vegan has not had the effect you are proposing it would. you are making up a scenario where it might work and asking why i don’t think it would work in that scenario.
being vegan is literally about not supporting the meat industry, so i genuinely do not understand what you’re trying to say. that one person alone being vegan won’t make a difference? that not supporting the meat industry is the same as supporting the meat industry, which is demonstrably false? i don’t know of a more easy and effective way for a single person to make a difference than to stop supporting it altogether, and broad change starts with individuals deciding to make that change.
yeah dude vegans make up a pretty small portion of the population, so of course the meat industry hasn’t been just erased like magic. societal changes like this happen at a glacial pace and the idea is that more people become vegan over time and thus demand for those products gradually falls. even if 10% of the population went vegan, demand for those products would fall by 10% and there would be that many less animals killed for it because it would not be profitable.
to claim that it is ineffective is like claiming that eating healthy makes no difference from eating like shit after doing it for a single day and not seeing amazing results.
Because more people want meat every year.
ok? that doesn’t change the effectiveness of being vegan.
make any excuse you want, it is a fact that being vegan doesn’t stop the growth of the industry.
so you’re saying that they would just keep killing more and more animals to produce more and more meat even if nobody wanted to buy it?
no, that’s a strawman.
please explain to me how what i wrote is different from what you wrote

and you can do that, but don’t claim it’s an
because you can see that it has not stopped the growth of the industry and it has not led to a shrinking of the industry.
