I understand, believe me, I do, I guess I just brought it up as a warning not to do what every new vegetarian (including myself) has done:
Use moral arguments to try to convince people that being a vegetarian is a more ethical choice.
I think the sentiment applies to vegans as well, even if the impact isn't as direct. If everyone started consuming non-meat/non-dairy products, the socio-economical and agricultural effects of things like soy, almonds, etc will be egregious as well.
We need to look at non-cruel and sustainable sources of food, but at the industrial level, not at the individual.
