Vegan meals do not help to stall climate change, especially those consisting of soy-based alternatives. This is a marketing ploy by soy producers who profit by shifting public focus to meat and away from monocropping and agricultural emissions from monocrop cultivation. In addition to the fact that very few people have even seen, much less worked with, livestock being grazed and harvested outside of a CAFO and you have an effective marketing strategy that is “natural” enough to justify selling a single meal for more than most people make in an hour.
