    Are you unaware of how markets work? You’re pretending like the person you’re responding to is the arbiter of all food production and consumption. Buy vegan, more vegan food gets made. It’s been happening for decades and as the number of vegans climb, the amount of vegan food increases.

    There’s really nothing difficult to understand about that. If SO MANY PEOPLE go vegan that you literally go to the store and can’t find ANY vegan food (this won’t happen), then vegan food production will ramp up extremely fast, and this will only be a temporary issue as producers acclimate to new demands.

      This doesn’t change anything about the point I challenged.

      As of today, a bacon sandwich is a need u till you handle the issues of supply and demand or culture shift over time.

        There’s no world where every person goes vegan “before lunch” today, you were arguing about a fantasy because that’s the only way you could make an almost coherent point.

        In your fantasy world where literally every person wakes up, realizes that paying for animal abuse because of taste preference is a moral abomination, then yeah we wouldn’t have enough vegan food easily accessible, but as all the vegan food would be perpetually out of stock, production would ramp up.

        In reality however, people in the first world have incredibly easy and consistent access to vegan food. Essentially if you get your food from a grocery store you have incredibly easy access to cheap vegan food. If you live in a place where food is more scarce, then your diet is already primarily vegetarian or vegan because that food is way, way cheaper to come by.
