      Do you mean to say that grocery stores are spending money from vegan sales on meat orders to subsidize an area of the business that isn’t making them any money?

        I’m saying grocery stores don’t keep a pile of money segregated that only-comes-from-and-is-only-spent-on vegan food. when the 4th of July rolls around, they stock up on hotdogs with whatever money is on hand.

        I’m also saying your policy of not giving money to grocery stores just isn’t workable for most people.

          Grocery stores keep budgets and expense reports. They downscale whatever products aren’t selling or making them money. It’s called running a business.

              But you get to influence which decisions are profitable. When you pay them money in exchange for dead animals, you create incentive for them to arrange for there to be more dead animals
