>> Veganism is on the rise

The question is whether it is by society's will or because of the general price of meat. there are communities, tribes and even people in civilization that celebrate when they finally have meat. presidents can win election promising the population will be able to buy meat again [1].

I don't believe in these circumstances that it's a voluntary demand, but an imposition of their surroundings, lack of money, etc.

In my experience it's ethics, environment and health reasons, people don't turn vegan for lack of money.

Yes, probably we live in different bubbles.

Still, given from your reference, less than 1% of population in the USA are vegan.

That number is not that big.
