More people not wanting to fund the abuse of non-human animals and the market responding... how horrible!

It’s like a re-run of the Atkins thing. But with cauliflowers.
Yeah, actually pretty horrific when you put it that way.

You make it sound like a bad thing. How weird.

In what way exactly?

Yes, jumping on a bandwagon so as to make a little bit more money is horrible. Unless you really think these companies care about animals and aren't just on a short-term profit tip.
It is a bad thing, or at least it's an irrelevant thing. Just because a company sells veggie food doesn't make them good in any way. Are we five years old in our socioeconomic analysis now? Are we just promoting an assumption that veg*n is another word for virtuous? Because it isn't.

You can’t be serious? No these companies don’t give a shit about animals, evidenced by the fact that they sell animal products. As you say, all that motivates them is the bottom line.
What is good is that more people are deciding to boycott products that require the torture and brutal slaughter of animals and that the market is responding with more vegan options, hence making it easier for more people to likewise boycott the products of animal cruelty, hence increasing the chances of sparing future animals miserable lives and hideous premature deaths. Remind me again what part of this is bad exactly?

I’d be interested to survey what the main motivation for people doing the veganuary thing is - I have a feeling the perceived health benefits would be a far higher driving force than the animal welfare side.

Same here, though the McVegan burger seems to be getting good reviews.
Not rolled out here yet.

It's like 'dry January' and why the gyms will be packed for the next month - traditional post-binge asceticism.

None of that has anything at all to do with high st chains sticking a couple of (overpriced) vegan options on their menus for a few weeks.

For a start, these companies are not sticking “vegan options on their menus for a few weeks”, they are permanent items on the menu but are sold at discount for veganuary. Second, yes it does. The wider availability of vegan food makes it easier for people to adopt vegan diets and hence not contribute to the dystopian barbarism of the animal agribusiness industries.

One thing about choosing the veggie option is that it can still be hit and miss, even somewhere the rest of the food is good, unless is makes a specific point of being veggie friendly. Hopefully this will also change.

I disagree. Nothing is being boycotted by spending money on the high st. As for dystopian barbarism of agribusiness, where do you think the rest of the menu comes from?
This is tokenism for profit, nothing more. You like it because now you can eat at Zizzi? Good for you. But don't insult your own intelligence by making out it's more than that.

Ime it already has changed. When I first went vegan restaurants simply didn’t have vegan options at all, it was always a case of modifying the vegetarian option in some way. Now most chains have a number of vegan options and even vegan menus. I think my favourite is Turtle Bay, the “ital run down” is soooo good!
