   @Tattooed_mummy I'll only speak for myself, but I started my predominantly vegan diet for my own health (and it was great for that). Over time, I've come to see some of the ethical aspects as also a nice part of it. I've seen the meat industry and I'm glad that I'm not driving demand for those products. I don't want someone to have to do a job like that for my meal. And maybe my example will encourage others...look at the decline in demand for milk in the US. That has to be enough for me.

     I'm not vegan, but it's like this for everything, you buy a product because of one thing and it affects another. I don't know the answer. Living is really hard. Which is why a lot of people just don't bother to worry about any of it. Is there any point to small changes by one person?

     An example of how incredibly hard it is to buy the 'right' thing.

     The popular #vegan brands Alpro, Provamel and Soya Soleil are owned by French multinational Groupe Danone. Group Danone has a 24.4% share in the global fresh dairy industry, so when we buy Alpro we’re actually funding one of the world’s largest dairy producers.
