It's the demand for animal products that continues the use of animals with their slaughter for those. Veganism turns from that demand. With there being crop deaths we may choose ways for that to be less. Veganism has less crop deaths than crops for continually feeding the animals being used for the demand for animal products. We can grow some of our own food when possible, too. If we do, crops do not make as much sense. They attract pests. But plants used for food growing just among other plants are not attracting the insects or small animals that crops would. Plants for food can be mixed among any other compatible plants.
Being non vegan is not causing less crop deaths. duh
Really new vegans might say they miss cheese, or maybe something else. Generally there are addictions to certain substances among those to get past, but it fortunately does not take long. Find vegan things you really like to have about as often instead, those really should be healthy things, not just processed stuff. I found I could have a really great sauce that I like so much in my cooked meals almost all the time, with putting some hummus and some medium salsa in them. I use La Victoria, and I add good seasonings I like, but do not add salt to anything. And for other things I would sweeten I use something other than sugar, where I am, bone char is used to filter them so the sugar is not vegan, unless it is a brand verified as vegan, now I generally use agave nectar. Gelatin is from animals too.
