A great piece, well explained. I'd also add that while supermarkets hold food producers and consumers to ransom, food choices are limited by which brands manage to get a foothold in the big stores. I also think the move towards consuming less ultra-high processed foods will have an impact. The way forwards is Whole Food Plant Based eating, in my humble opinion - and the best vegan section in any store is the fruit and veg!

A lot of these new vegan products were useless anyway because they are either not ecologically or socially responsible (for example, because they contain palm oil, coconut or other raw materials that are responsible for the destruction of forests, extinction of plant and animal species and genocide against indigenous peoples in South America or Southeast Asia and/or they come in packaging that is not readily recyclable) or they are useless from a nutritional aspect because they replace a protein food but have very little protein. For example, vegan 'cheeses' made with coconut oil and almost no protein are totally useless and tofu, made with soybeans that were grown in Europe is a much better alternative.
