Clonakilty Veggie Pudding

For people that don't see why we should support things like this: I don't like this dude but I agree with him about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIIF3Y3qMLg Company's are going to try and enter the vegan market space, and to allow them to remain there and to continue being there - increasing their options and reducing their meat use - we have to support them, otherwise nothing will change.

E.G. Take a fast food place. McDonald's recently introduced vegan food in other countries and only have a menu so large, more vegan stuff on it is fairly huge due to the market they reach and less meat on the menu. It also helps it be more affordable for people who wanna eat out and aren't too well off. Same arguments were aimed at Ben and Jerry's, now half their shelf space is vegan in my local tesco, half way around the world from where it first sold and is selling well, even my non-vegan friends are eating it. Not only did people in the US supporting them increase the selection for people around the world it's also taken non-vegan flavours off shelves.

Corporations are corporations; they change due to money and they will not change overnight, you need them to start having one vegan option, two etc. Not only that - these mainstream places, that's what tons of people care about, brand and convenience.
You think non-vegan people were eating the vegan ice cream before Ben and Jerry's came here? They won't even TRY it when I offer it. Never underestimate brands and convenience for furthering our cause for the common person, and we are the ones who are the initial demand to get these things off the ground.

Another point regarding McDonald's is this is something cheap people can get, it's a third of the price of any burger I can get out now and a lot of people can't afford that, especially families with young children who they like to treat out to something like that.

For the pudding in particular, it's brand recognition, a familiar food and when people stop eating real pudding it will help them to have familiar food to eat. For vegans they have to think, what is the path for a company to become vegan? It's to start off small, see the support grow for those offerings and gradually change, increasing the amount of those options and reducing the amount of non-vegan options.

That's a fine choice too, those companies need support to grow too, I support both. Once something hits a critical mass it no longer needs vegan assistance also, 98% of people buying Beyond Meat are meat eaters for example (actual figure recorded by shops selling them).
