@dancing james True, true. Although a problem with this is that these large companies are peddling vegan alternatives seen by many as the only alternative. A lot of them are inherently unhealthy. Arguably they are a poor gateway into veganism when compared to learning to cook meals from scratch, for example.
I'm in no way saying that any substitute product from a big company is bad and no one should use them (I use them myself). But given the choice between buying something from a company that processes meat and dairy, or a company that does not, then the choice for me is clear. Money talks.
@ltc 100%. More people eating vegan food is a win. But is it really a win if they mostly consume McDonalds. Who knows, haha.
I guess one good thing is that veganism is slowly becoming a much more widely accepted concept as well as losing its extremist connotations. We have big companies to thank partly for this.
