    But if the goal is to bring folks into your movement, you’ll have better luck targeting our wallets and tastebuds.

    You probably didn’t mean it that way, but that’s an arrogant statement.

    Veganism is an animal rights movement. In what other rights movement would you accept that the rights-breakers say: “you have to do x and y before we even think about recognizing these rights”.

    “Cheap and tasty” has no ethical weight. That doesn’t mean that people won’t “treat themselves” to something animal derived. And what if there are animal products that are even cheaper and tastier?

    What about things where taste doesn’t matter such as leather, fur, wool, silk, beeswax, horn, pearl, gelatine, collagen, keratin, make-up, soap, washing powder, cleaning products, zoos, circuses, animal testing, bull and dog fighting, recreational fishing and hunting etc.?
