    Being vegan requires only to change your buying choices. What your’e suggesting requires one to plant/locally source everything you consume, work close to your home, and completely change your means of transportation.

    Veganism is about not exploiting animals as practicable and possible. Which one do you recognize is practicable and possible for most humans?

      I am saying reduce the number of cars, but not to zero. I’d guess that in developed nations, maybe 20% or 30% of cars are actually needed (obviously depending on the country and the local level of car use). Similarly, some percentage of animal products is actually useful even in developed nations (for now), e.g. for pregnant women or people with weird allergies.

      And of course, society needs to support lifestyle choices for them to be viable. That’s the same for veganism and a life without a car.
