The human race at it's current population levels cannot be sustained without harming animals, whether that's killing them to eat them or destroying their habitats to be able to feed ourselves. I won't argue that veganism is obviously
far less harmful to animals than the alternative... but a world in which 7 billion humans exist is going to hurt animals. Even if every last human being goes vegan. 7 billion humans cannot exist on any diet, plant based or otherwise, without large scale agriculture. Large scale agriculture is devastating to most other forms of life in their natural state. The problem is not our diet... it is our
very existence... and therein lies the fundamental flaw in veganism.
tl;dr: If palm oil isn't vegan,
nothing is vegan.
