I am vegan, but for non-vegans I think it’s more ignorance and self-interest than epistemic arrogance, as the vast, vast majority of most societies are non-vegan, whereas there is at least an order of magnitude more people who support pro-life positions, and people don’t personally benefit from non-veganism in the same way pro-choice folks benefit from their own position.
However, I would claim most non-vegans who have thought deeply about vegan arguments, and don’t make arguments from the angle of nematode welfare, are epistemically arrogant.
