>> It will be interesting to see how many people become vegan not because of any moral reason, but because it helps them e.g. cope with extraordinarily high prices. My estimate is zero. Prices may reduce certain foods to occasional consumption. I can't speak for other non-vegans, but I'll eat vegan food at times if that's what I go for or if that's what's served by someone. But scarcity will not cause someone to declare themselves vegan IMHO.
