Assuming you aren’t posting this just to preach to the choir, there’s plenty of completely valid reasons to not choose veganism. It’s also sort of the wrong question, because there’s a lot more people who choose to stick with their status quo than to change. In this world of endless causes, services, and distractions vying for everyone’s finite attention, what makes going vegan worth it? It’s not only a question of how or why to choose vegan, it’s also a question of why should people focus their attention on veganism over other things like volunteering for a local food bank, protecting people’s rights, stopping climate policy rollbacks, scrolling social media, or even playing video games? I’m sure you and I could come up a lot of good reasons, but we’re not who needs to be convinced… it’s everyone else.

Animal rights is sort of my favourite example of this. You will much more easily find people who think it worth their attention to protect other humans than people who want to protect animals. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that view point, either – even I’d agree that human suffering matters more than animal suffering.
