There are many false assumptions built into the view that veganism is "a new technology" in the process of being adopted (by the masses) on a predictable "curve" (increasing exponentially from "early adopters" to the great majority).  To a very limited extent, veganism may be compared to a a new technology, but it can also be compared to fringe religious groups —and to failed fringe religious groups, especially.  Should we be planning for "a vegan future", meaning an vegan majority, or should we, instead, be planning for a long-term future as a despised minority, seeking to lobby for social change, even if we only represent 1% of the population?  :-/
