And also that most don't seem to understand that there is privilege in having the ability to go vegan or vegetarian and there is privilege in having the ability to willingly cut out certain foods from their diets.
There's also the fact that many of them ignore other issues that come with their alternatives. Some crops use a lot of water, or they may be grown and harvested by laborers who don't get paid enough for difficult and unsafe work. I know that in our modern capitalistic society, finding a 100% ethical option for something is basically impossible, but don't act like abstaining from honey makes you a hero when sugarcane workers work in horrible conditions.
