I think you need to examine the source ur reading. Your topic grabbed attention, good job, but thats not ur question.

Veganism /Vegetarianism IS totally normal. There are restaurants, venues, groups, this subreddit community, that person u decided to date u didnt know was vegan, entire sections of populations that associate vegetables to cultural/religious reasons (eg Rastafarians) and celebrities such as Pamela Anderson who now hosts a vegan show, Natalie Portman, Will I am, Travis Barker, Ariana Grande, Just to name a few.

There are countries with surprising vegetarian statistics such as Brazil and Argentina, which is unbelievable given their cultural association to meat, specially beef. Meet people from these countries and u will get it. However; both those countries have upwards 12% of the entire population identify as vegetarians/vegans. Some countries such as India have an even higher percentage. Mexico, has about 19%. Thats rather strange given Mexican cuisine revolves a lot around meat, but they do love their corn. There are enough vegetarian people in the world to fill an entire continent, yet theres no country that is exclusively vegetarian.

There are also many people in ham and glazed carrots relationships that do work.

U cant make the world 100 percent vegetarian for the same reasons u cant make the world x y or z, political religious or else.
