I've been looking into #veganism for few years now.
Have tried following too.
But I think one way to start reducing animal cruelty is by introducing and promoting veganism or anti-animal cruelty by things that are easy to shift.
Which is leather, and using animals for transportation.
As I find vegan diet to be controversial as veganism is love towards animals which is part of nature.
While our omnivorous diets are also what have been natural and going against it does show us decline in health which can be helped through supplements.
Which again is controversial when it comes to factory made and helping big pharma etc.
BTW I'm planning to add a page on website on how to reduce animal cruelty especially leather which is not an essential.
@Seitansbraten @PrPl My first thinking tells me we kill way more for food than for leather, but maybe I'm wrong.
@Faket @Seitansbraten Yes, if you want to decrease only your consumption that means do whatever you can and gradually decrease more.
But when proposing to the whole world, it requires to show people through an easy approach so people at different levels of habits and conditions could start their transition.
@PrPl @Seitansbraten Well, we can stop eat meat, that’s not that hard, and probably easier than focusing on leather in clothes.
@Faket @Seitansbraten I disagree that it's easier. But great it if its for you.
For me getting supplements and other non-local food items still support the industries that are all connected to animal cruelty.
@PrPl @Seitansbraten The only supplement you need for being vegan is B12, I let you find which one the farm animals get everyday.
And which non-local food do you need? Eating avocado is not mandatory in being vegan.
@Faket @Seitansbraten I've found it hard to find 1000mg diet plan for calcium.
B12, DHA, and Zinc were also hard to plan out.
@PrPl @Seitansbraten For B12 https://www.vegansociety.com/shop/veg-1-supplements/veg-1-blackcurrant-90-tablets , for the rest, a healthy diet should do it.
@PrPl @Seitansbraten And if you’re missing some, this can help you for not that much (CHF8/month).

I guess you can find something similar where you live.
@Seitansbraten @Faket It takes someone with a healthy mind for a healthy debate.
To answer rather than run by saying broken record.
Bye
@PrPl @Faket @Seitansbraten fun fact: following a plant based diet is next to impossible, unhealthy, extremely expensive, and possibly causes even more animal cruelty...if you're a carnist.
If you're a #vegan (ok, tbh within two weeks after going vegan), following a plant based diet is trivial, often easier than any other diet, many studies show it's healthy, it's much cheaper, and yeah you experience the enormous relief of no longer paying (directly, intentionally causing) all that animal cruelty.
