          It reduces demand for meat, lowering production, ergo lowering environmental impact and animal suffering. Simple as.

            production increases every year.

              Not as quickly if there were no Vegans. Veganism does lower demand.

                there is not any way to prove such a claim, as you cannot prove a counterfactual.

                  Are they just wasting money producing food they know isn’t in demand? What are you on? You’re goofy.
