Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

TIL the eggs from my backyard chickens might be from a factory farm

That is very nice! But most people don’t have their backyard chickens. What I mean is that many people think the meat they buy at the supermarket is not from factory farms. Sadly, most of it is.

Most isn’t all and that’s the point. You can be concerned about the ethical treatment of animals without going full vegan, you’ll just need to pay more attention and money at the grocery store to support the right products.

I don’t want to get philosophical on the first part of this comment, but the second part is sadly just wrong. Paying attention and spending more money most often doesn’t change a bit - at least where I’m shopping. Maybe the animals have a little more space on their factories and their feeding uses slightly less land, water etc.
But this is a very important point for many vegans: It is a way to critique and boycott a very shitty system that doesn’t allow for any good choices.
