MODERATORS
Depends on availability. Plenty of eateries don't have vegan options and this is especially true for locations accommodating larger groups. Furthermore, a lot of vegans need supplements (as I've been told), which is also subject to availability.
Lastly, it's easier to convince a thousand people to eat less meat – especially since they usually already have the ingredients required for vegetarian food at home – than to skip meat alltogether.
Two thousand meals a week that turned vegetarian is a lot more impact than 70 meals turned vegan.
It's not that a lot of vegans need supplements, they're just more aware of what the body should get, when in fact almost everyone likely needs supplements. They just don't know it.
Maybe you are thinking of processed vegan food, like a vegan nugget or hamburger. That is completely unnecessary. beans, lentils, chickpeas, seaweed, grains, rice, vegetables, nuts.... those are widely available and enough for a healthy diet.
For the rest I agree, it's easier to convince an omnivore to go vegetarian than vegan. But that has to do with their will, not with actual physical limitations.
