I agree.
I'm in agreement with @JonD that it is that simple, but sometimes doing a little bad is nexessary to do lot of good. ie gorging on cornettos and magnums shows there is a market for this stuff, and in time hopefully, the market share becomes larger.
Shopping at Tesco and buying their vegan offerings is showing that their is a demand, and again, hopefully in time the demand grows and grows.
Yes it is simple enough to boycott Tesco, but then I'm not going to be showing my support for the vegan items.My initial point about it being hard, was more to do with the fact that we can only do our best in a world that's not quite there yet, and that ultimately that is all we can do. I gave Tesco as an example, but as we all know, I could have chosen countless others.
Echoing @Oliver Schick, I think buying vegan things, even if not from a vegan retailer, has to be a good thing.
YMMV

Yeah, it is.
But, I see it like a transition, just like with people.
Most vegans have been eating meat and/or dairy for most of their lives, and they most likely even have friends and family that isn’t vegan.
If a person or brand/chain decides it wants to change and eat/sell vegan, its all about fanning the spark instead of throwing water on it! 🔥
By refusing to buy vegan products we are telling the guys in the big office there is no need for their product and then they’ll go back to their carni product line that they have always had and that they are making a fortune on. Then in turn, if those products aren’t there anymore, it’s making it harder for other non vegans to choose something with less suffering.
So I’d say, support the vegan movement by reaching a hand out to everyone trying to get on board, and eat magnums
