I mean… you’re not wrong, but I wouldn’t quite say it like that.
I’ve dated a girl who was very much into it, though she wasn’t a full vegan, just a fairly strict vegetarian, for the same reason you mentioned (i.e. some of their meat replacement products just being ultra high processed food science experiments), and the fact that you can easily eat vegan without eating health (French fries are technically vegan as long as they’re fried in veggie oil).
I’d basically consider it a nerd hobby at this point – I’ve had some very impressive vegan stunt food, like vegan McMuffins that tasted better than the ones from McDonald’s (albeit at 3x the price of course), so I can certainly can’t hate on their dedication to the cause, because that takes a lot of passion.
But yeah, from a practical point of view, most people are likely better off with your recommendation, because it’ll get you at least 90% of the way there without costing you half of your income, and it’ll probably still achieve most goals that vegans are after (better health, less pollution, and improved animal welfare).

I’m sorry, but YOU made the argument that the social contract was broken. So I’ll ask once again, who broke it?
- Comment on No one could have seen this coming 1 day ago:
What is, the social contract? Your argument? I don’t think I follow…
- Comment on No one could have seen this coming 1 day ago:
Why? Your initial argument was that the social contract is broken. Well, who broke it?
- Comment on No one could have seen this coming 1 day ago:
Well, why don’t you take the opportunity to let everyone here benefit from your experience and tell us what effective help in such situations might look like?
Because it sounds like you’re still arguing for just letting them steal what they need if they can’t afford it.

I’m glad you’re willing to have a respectful debate, and I’m certainly not trying to be disingenuous, but this is a complex topic and it warrants some measure of diligence. We’re talking about people’s lives here, after all.
Almost no large corporation experience a level of theft that requires them to increase prices.
Sorry, but this claim is going to require some evidence.
Many large stores have been having record profits, while the value of stolen goods amounts to less than 1% of the generated profits.
First of all “many” may be doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but even without that, you do understand the difference between a single store turning a profit, and the entire company doing the same, right?
It is certainly possible that the company as a whole was only profitable because they closed underperforming stores, because that would free up a lot of expenses if they can let go of all the employees and either sell the real estate (or stop paying rent for it), so unfortunately the company as a whole making a profit does not prove that theft isn’t hurting them. You can survive a fight while bleeding from a head wound as long as you get first aid soon enough, but that doesn’t mean you won the confrontation.

Why am I disingenuous? Were you or were you not making the case that theft could sometimes be considered morally good?
I find it more disingenuous of you to try and just brush over that by asking me to engage with a completely different argument about the system being the problem.
The system does not care if you steal from it. As you said yourself, the CEO of the supermarket does not pay for the losses out of his own pocket. He’ll just raise prices or lock things up behind glass so that ultimately, we’re ALL paying for it. Your so-called “charity” ends up costing everyone.

You really thought that was a smart argument to make, didn’t you?

And i am not saying that stealing is morally good in all cases.
Okay, in which cases would you say that stealing is morally good?
Please be as precise as possible. This is very important.
