Mostly vegetarian, mostly-non-meat, rarely fish-eater perspective: - Habit is part of it (cow's milk in hot drinks, for example) - Availability is a factor (almost all products now have vegan substitutes, which is great, but they may not be so widely-distributed) - Taste and presentation - while vegan meals can be as enjoyable as meat-based dishes, fewer chefs and restaurants seem to specialize in them currently (somewhat related to availability) - Hesitation regarding change - change is always difficult, for people, communities, events and industries. It'd be best to minimize avoidable suffering to both humans and animals. So far, protein/nutrition hasn't been a factor for me personally. If anything, I feel broadly healthier since reducing meat intake, although that effect could also be due to other lifestyle changes.
