You've already made strides to avoid eating anything that may be processed in the same facility as animal products.

But why? This would just make it much harder for (smaller) companies to bring vegan products to market.

You largely eat whole ingredients that you buy and prepare personally. And you would probably never touch a pre-made meat substitute.

Most vegans I know eat meat substitutes rather regularly. Eating a whole food diet is primarily motivated by health. Some vegans also try to be as healthy as possible, sure, but many don't really care about that.

Ethical veganism is about not financially supporting the commodification of animals, especially on factory farms, nothing more.

Because as a vegan, you know that in order to remain ethical, you do not buy mass produced crap that was produced in the same facility as dairy products. You wouldnt support that company.

I like how they tried to argue against your point but actually agreed without realising it
