&gt; &quot;I believe a lot of people would quit the luxurious flesh eating habits if someone as Bill Gates says he&#x27;s a vegan and just states his reasons.&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t think you&#x27;ve understood Bill Gates&#x27; position in our culture. He&#x27;s clearly admired as a businessman and as a philanthropist, but I don&#x27;t see much evidence that people are seeking to emulate his lifestyle choices.<p>Instead of waiting for Bill Gates to become a vegan, focus your energy on positive changes you can make. For example, want to encourage people to eat more vegetables? Why not start a cookery channel on YouTube that you can use to promote vegan food?
