I have always been amazed by the topics ppl write on with very little understanding of the wider world - even in my city veganism and green shakes are the thing - for the price that some of the restaurants charge, it is not really pocket friendly
However, over the years I have shifted to more healthy eating choices - I don't eat red meat and prefer vegetarian and sea food -
But I understand what you are saying - in my home country where there is widespread poverty and illiteracy, it is hard to conceive of veganism...
