It really depends on the region, here’s for Europe (mother of Human Rights, maybe inclined to morale) but other surveys have it differently :
> 95% of respondents reported it being because of animal welfare, 83.9% because of the environment, and 55.9% because of health reasons.
I do it for animal welfare and the extremism has made me think multiple time because I consider myself as a very moderate person in various subject, including food for 35 years but that’s not the case anymore. It didn’t appear as a radical decision overnight but as a reflection over years and gradually transitioned through the Overton scale.
It IS extremist, but many other extremisms are widely accepted by large groups of population but not endorsed by all : [HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL ON] Embargos, Boycotts, child labor, God, human genome science[OFF]… you name it. Anti-slavery where also considered extremists (and still are in some places). You’ve got to ignore some judgements (like being seen as an extremist) and concentrate on the facts if you want to go "against the current" (not sure we say this in English)
