Look up the prevalence of veganism
The smug, eternally morally superior vegan:
I mean, Vegans are morally superior, that's a solved question.
no, they're not
Yes, they are, unless you can make the argument that animal suffering and environmental destruction are good things.
being vegan doesn't do anything about those
It reduces demand for meat, lowering production, ergo lowering environmental impact and animal suffering. Simple as.
production increases every year.
Not as quickly if there were no Vegans. Veganism does lower demand.
there is not any way to prove such a claim, as you cannot prove a counterfactual.
Are they just wasting money producing food they know isn't in demand? What are you on? You're goofy.
