Exactly. When I switched to a plant based diet in 2014, if I wanted vegan pizza or cake, I had to make it myself from scratch. Even things like ketchup would contain dairy.

The supermarkets didn't start making vegan ranges on a whim. It was the slow but steady rise of the number of people switching to plant based or reducing their animal product consumption. It WAS the individual actions of thousands adding up and creating this demand. You can buy tempeh in Lidl now, who would have thought?
