I’ve been vegan since 2019 and it’s hitting me lately that in those days things were looking bright for veganism. Now a lot of vegan restaurants are turning their backs on animals by serving meat then closing up shop a few months later after alienating their customers. It’s getting more difficult to find vegan options and it just breaks my heart.
(There’s also like 10,000 other problems I’m going through too.)
Easier to not go to restaurants than deal with their shit. I don’t really mind if they die.
Before you buy food and it’s the price listed. Now there is a chance you will have to argue with someone to have a surprise service charge removed from the bill.
probably veganism, vegatarian food isnt really profitable compared to meat based, eggs, milk products. its only a subset of people that will willingly go to these, perhaps. i think they are better selling vegan products to chain store.
Probably making up the difference in the number of customers. Veganism is still a minority, depending on sources 1-3%(highest in inda up to 9%) of the population.
So running a restaurant and focusing only on a small minority might not be that sustainable if there aren’t enough people on the area or there is too high competition.
Adding in the general cost of life increases over the last few years reducing the number of potential customers as well.
And it kinda makes sense why restaurants are moving away from exclusively serving some specific group.

Inflation and restraunts generally struggling are the causes

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?
A vegan restaurant is not selling simple vegetables. Its like how vegan burgers cost more than normal burgers. Its mostly because we subsidize meat.

Government handouts for grain and meat production.
Eat the grain?
Yes livestock in US eats mostly corn and soy
But people could eat the corn instead
