    Numbers are hard to measure but we have at least 80 million vegans on the planet, plus 1,5 billion vegetarians. This is not “a few thousand”. A decade ago, veganism was considered a cult, now we have Veganuary and my health insurance recommends a “Planetary Health Diet” (to not scare people by saying the v-word). This movement is much bigger than you make it sound.

    And again, I agree: There is destruction and exploitation wherever you look closely, it’s overwhelming. I’m all for drastic changes, and fast! This includes you, Sir Kevin, to acknowledge that the diet you learned from your parents needs to be addressed. You don’t have to be perfect, I’m not, but please don’t ignore your responsibility in this. It’s the easiest difference you can make.
