Unless you eat only home grown, locally sourced products?
Obviously some people are vegan because they don’t like the idea of using any kind of animal products. But all too often people say that they’re vegan because “it’s better for the environment when this is categorically not the case.
Lots of fruit/veg have to be imported which is actually worse for the environment because it involves pumping man-made substances into the environment.
Products like almond milk are terrible for the environment because e.g. it takes 1600l of water to produce 1l of almond milk. Coca-Cola is practically a green product in comparison…
If people want to be vegan, why not just say you want to be vegan. Coming up with reasons such as “it’s better for the environment” which are just rubbish and laughable is only going to increase the amount of people who don’t take vegans seriously.

To say that being a vegan is no better for the environment than being a meat eater?
