    What’s your point? Arguments for veganism only apply to those who can eat vegan. They obviously don’t apply to those that can’t. You concern re. food deserts is a very valid one but that isn’t a criticism of veganism, it’s benefits or its impact on the environment. Working to eliminate food deserts and improve nutritional options for everyone is a part of tackling climate change. For those Americans that do have access to some vegan options (about 80% of the population) going vegan or at least ‘flexitarian’ is cheaper, quicker, healthier and better for the environment.

    In edition, your point about families having time, whilst valid, is again not a criticism of veganism, it’s a criticism of a multitude of wider societal issues.

    Also, please bear in mind that the US is not the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to familial trends. In the UK for example, people are actually cooking at home more: https://brandclock.co.uk/scratch-cooking-in-the-uk-increasing/

    Even in the US approx 64% of the population home cook: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/survey-reveals-81-of-consumers-now-cook-more-than-half-of-their-meals-at-home-302007657.html
