It highlights the ethical implications of food production, the misconceptions about dietary needs, and the importance of addressing social dynamics in adopting a vegan lifestyle. Additionally, it challenges the elitism often associated with veganism, advocating for a view that prioritizes harm reduction over financial barriers.
