We have to do it. Some of us have to do it in different ways. Doing small things where you can is all well and good but literally none of us are making a single impact in capitalism by making different choices about how we're forced to participate in it. Focus on tearing it down together rather than picking apart individual choices because those individual choices still result in participating in capitalism.

    But socioeconomic factors like poverty, living far from a greengrocer and easy access to fast food have made it harder for African Americans to eat healthily, according to the Food Empowerment Project, a non-profit aimed at ending food inequality.

    it's great that's there seems to be a higher willingness to make that switch but please let's not pretend that there aren't economic barriers for people to actually be able to make that switch and keep at it

      it's interesting that black people who are faced with more of these struggles still manage to be more vegan by population than white people who commonly have less of these barriers, isn't it?

      And this forum is mostly white.. hmm

        Well something I think is important to keep in mind is that the areas containing a lot of the poor whites have Dollar General (or similar stores) as their main grocer. "Food Deserts" are a rapidly accelerating crisis in middle America. Not to say your critique is necessarily incorrect, just that these are very complex issues with a lot of facets to include in our analysis.
