This doesn't change anything about the point I challenged.

As of today, a bacon sandwich is a need u till you handle the issues of supply and demand or culture shift over time.

There's no world where every person goes vegan "before lunch" today, you were arguing about a fantasy because that's the only way you could make an almost coherent point.

In your fantasy world where literally every person wakes up, realizes that paying for animal abuse because of taste preference is a moral abomination, then yeah we wouldn't have enough vegan food easily accessible, but as all the vegan food would be perpetually out of stock, production would ramp up.

In reality however, people in the first world have incredibly easy and consistent access to vegan food. Essentially if you get your food from a grocery store you have incredibly easy access to cheap vegan food. If you live in a place where food is more scarce, then your diet is already primarily vegetarian or vegan because that food is way, way cheaper to come by.
