as far my experience goes, generally people who stick with veganism are doing it for ethics/morals... it is really hard to keep that life sty for health or environmental reasons, as it is pretty easy for humanity be sustainable while producing livestock (take a read about regenerative agriculture) if we really want or if we implement regulations towards it

i think i got 2 weeks of veganism when i first tried for health, then i got how healthy and cheap one can be with some ocean fish here and there, eggs etc. some weeks of pause and then the moral part hitted pretty hard and i am going strong for +4 years now

i still carve it when i get in events that have it (i used to eat and like it a lot) but one thing i noticed is that after trying to copy or have some substitute for animal stuff, the thing just flows... the fungi and flora kingdom is pretty vast and there is a lot to-do than worrying in trying to get a fake burguer or cheese
