Guess what? Not all people enjoy the same foods as you do and clearly the majority have chosen to eat meat even after they have tried legumes.

Are you stopping the lions and hyenas and other animals for murdering each other or are you a hypocrite that only fights against it when the animal doing it is a human? Do you do it to stop the suffering or so that you can preach to people and feel superior?

@rasin9391 If a child steals so they can eat in a place where they can't get food otherwise, I don't see any moral problem with it. I also don't see where the not using animals is better just because you say so. Would it be better if we removed all the carnivores from animal kingdom, so the killing they do would stop? If it would not be better, explain the exact moral reasoning you use to arrive to that conclusion while saying it would be better if we did not do it. And It would be better for the environment if you didn't use the internet at all, yet here you are so obviously you don't do everything you could to protect it either.

@rasin9391 Well from what I have read, doesn't seem like most vegans are ok with hunting at least if it's not necessary because some populatio of animals is getting out of control. I have heard Vegan Gainz say the he thinks we should actually eliminate carnivores so at least some vegans seem to think so. What is right and wrong, morals are subjective so many of the omnivores simply don't agree there is something wrong about using animals for foord although probably many would agree with you that suffering should be minimized and the animals should be living as comfortably as possible. I don't mind if you get factory farming abolished even if it would result in higher prices but I don't have a major problem of using animals for food in general. I suspect the only way you will possibly reach your goals is with lab grown meat when that becomes an actual option some day.

Most people know very well what is going on and only 1% are vegan. 85% even quit the diet during the first 12 months and it's not because they don't know what happens. Don't expect the population to share your ignorance.

@4layers404 less than 1% are vegans and 85% quit the plant based diet during the first 12 months so no veganism doesn't seem to be taking over and yes they are a very tiny minority. Most of those that are vegeterian are not so by choice either or are so by religoius reasons.

@4layers404 Most people are not going vegan simply because they prefer not to and I don't expect that to change. If lab meat is as good as the original, not very expensive and doesn't cause health issues of its own then people might obviously stop eating animals on mass but before that happens I think you have very little chance of convincing any substantial proportion of the population.

@mariuszfurman4767 The numbers aren't gong to grow very far when 85% quit during the first year and many people never even try the plant-based diet. When 99% of people are not vegans, there aren't going to be any bans on restaurants selling meat and many people would never even visit a restaurant that doesn't sell any dishes with actual meat. If in 100 years you get a lab meat that is identical or better than the original, you have a chance of convincing most people.

@SourceChan 85% of those that try veganism quit during the first year and many never even bother trying veganism. You would need to be doing much better than that to ever be anything else than a small minority.
