Humans are literally forcing animals to live and die by their life styles. The only ones forcing anybody here are humans.

There is no sound reason as to why B&J doesn't fully move away from non-vegan ice cream. They've proven that they can produce vegan flavours, that they cost them the same (probably less even), that they taste well enough for them to remain among the flavours they offer. It's just stigma and prejudice that leads to people shutting off completely when veganism is even mentioned.

Realistically, like be frank with yourself for a second and don't resort to a kneejerk reaction: would you mind if your ice cream was vegan? It's a luxury item, it's a sweet, so it's not essential. Most sweets you eat are vegan already. What's one more? Plus, you end up helping a bunch of animals.

Okay but that's something you care about.

What we're talking about is finding the lowest common denominator of what can be considered acceptable by the general populace, It is not about becoming the best version of ourselves.

Let's not muddy the waters by making this about something other than basic human decency.
