    It's important to be very sensitive to those people and their situation, but 99% of the people I have this conversation with are not those people, and use those people's existence as a trump card to avoid the conversation.

    Not only that, they do the exact same thing with Indigenous people and their traditional food production and consumption practices.

      Be glad you live in an area where the vast majority of people are food secure then. Many areas of the world are not like that. It's not a "trump card" when 20-25% of the population of the country you live in experiences moderate to severe food insecurity.

        Sure, so why aren't the 75-80% who aren't not vegan? What is your point? That disadvantaged people exist so everyone else can't do anything?
