Because tradition: see war, crime, reality TV

The only way to win this is with affordable traditional vegan options (the stuff our grandparents used to eat, but didn't call vegan), but with lettuce at the same price as pork and vegan cheese that is 50% fat and triple the price, most people who can't soak their own beans, many can't or have time to even cook, this is not going to work.

Yup. I have nothing against being Vegan and we have dramatically cut our meat... but Vegans act like it's easy. It's not... make it easier and not super expensive and I will go for it.
