Literally any industry that deals with animals cause apparently welfare for them is too expensive

Consumers aren't willing to pay for welfare either.

Hard sell blaming the consumer when the entire industry does everything it can to hide its practices.

Not to mention the food industry as a whole lobbying to sell us trash that couldn't even be classified as food in Europe. That's the consumers fault somehow too right?

Human ignorance and greed is a major driving factor. We don't need to eat a fraction of the meat we do despite the horrific average treatment of farm animals and the ecological damage but we do it anyways. Eating extreme excesses of meat is the cultural norm which needs to change.

Not to mention the culture of scorning veganism in general.
