Why is there suddenly such a big push to go vegan.

From magazines to supermarkets to news to shows it's everywhere now and a coincidence...obviously not.

So what are your conspiracy or nonconspiratorial theory on this?

It's a trend. That's all.

There are environmental factors to consider that contribute to the trend.

Everyone is jumping on the trend to get money out of it.

The growth in social media 'influencers' are making it much more if a thing.

If you choose a vegan lifestyle then great, good for you you. I'll buy you a salad. But don't try to force your choice upon me. I like meat. I like the smell of it cooking, I like the texture, I like the taste. I will eat vegetarian and even vegan foods on occasion but I choose an omnivorous diet.

You choose yours and I'll choose mine and we'll respect each other and the world keeps turning.

I agree, although tbh I think usually it's the omnivores showing lack of respect. (I'm an omnivore fwiw)

It has been around for a long time. Some are doing it for valid reasons, genuine and morally reasons. You just have to look at the way animals are treated in some places just before slaughter.

Some are just jumping on the bandwagon of the trend because it is suddenly cool.

Businesses are making the most of the growing trend and only care about their profits and how they look to potential customers.

We are an omnivorous species, we have been for a very long time.

I find it difficult to enjoy a meal unless I know an animal has died.

Please don't shoot me. It was a line from a comedy show that made me laugh.

Has it been proven that plants have some form of feelings or something vegan seem to protest the harm of animals

Yes. Sperm is a zygote and not a living thing. Although it has the potential to be......

I eat mainly vegan because of the impact of mass meat/dairy farming on the environment. Likewise I try to avoid things with too much plastic packaging. This has seen far more media coverage recently and it's been an influence on people I know. I know I'm not making much of a difference globally on my own, but I'm doing what I can and that makes me feel good!

I don't have a problem with other people eating meat. I think advocating reducing consumption (maybe having a meat-free day a week, buying a smaller amount of high quality stuff) would make much more of an impact than trying to convince people to give it up all together. Tell someone they can't have something and they're going to want it even more!

I do think as more and more vegan products appear and become cheaper then a lot more people will take it up.

One of my colleagues is a vegan and she's hot. That's why I am contemplating it.

Plus I think Falafel sounds rude

I'm vegan through a choice I made after discussions with healthcare professionals.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and they discussed putting me on some quite heavy duty meds (used to treat cancer). Arthritis UK had done some research on a plant based diet and its affect on the condition. It was deemed to help lots of the people who trialled it. Dairy and red meat are a known trigger anyways.

So I decided to try it before taking the meds with agreement from my specialist!! With the exception off my prescription anti inflammatory meds I take when needed (I havent need them for two years until now for a few days) I am medication free for my arthritis!!

A lot of it through choice but there is also an ongoing trend of young people desperately trying to out 'woke' each other on social media which is probably contributing a fair bit.

As an ex farmer I'm well aware of where my food comes from and still eat meat, that's just my choice.
