    I use soy milk to help meet my protein needs not wants. It is sold by three trees who only sells organics and only plant based milks.

    I became a vegan to reduce my consumption and impact. It was not and still is not a popular decision. It was not advertised to me. It was and continues to be actually quite alienating.

    I work to challenge “the system” in many ways other than my veganism, but to be clear veganism is challenging “the system.” It is explicitly about making the choice to not indulge in wants if they cause harm.

    Of course capitalists will cash in on any trend. Guilt by association is a fallacy that can be used to incorrectly dismiss anything.
