People don't want to be vegan for a variety of issues.

My personal problem comes with things like not eating honey. Beekeepers keep bee populations healthy. Those bees pollinate the food vegans eat. But for some dumb ass reason vegans are against it.

I'm all for moving away from meat, but exclusion shouldn't be the focus. The majority of people will never convert to vegan diet, but we CAN get them to replace some of what they eat with vegetarian alternatives.

No one has told you to not eat honey

Telling people to go vegan generally includes not eating honey since it's an animal by-product, just like eggs, animal milk, or cheeses.

Now, if you want to tell them to eat a vegetarian diet, then yeah, honey, eggs, animal milk, cheese, etc, would all still be on the table.
