The comments are already frustrating. I could boil the whole being vegan argument down to "less cattle in the world would be a quick and easy CO2 reduction win", and receive mind bogglingly silly arguments in return totally missing the point. Better not go there.

Do you often find that taking away things that the majority of people like — and have firmly entrenched in their lifestyle — is “quick and easy”?

Quick and easy in the sense that the overall impact to society would be minimal. Contrast that to giving up fossile fuels in large scale for example. Or any other change that would have similar impact.

The whole point of making the argument for veganism is to make people understand that they can, and indeed should, make this change. Even if in small steps.
