Hayvan endüstrilerinin iklim krizine katkıda bulunup çevresel sorunların artmasına yol açması sorununa karşı çevre ve hayvan refahı söylemlerinin yükselmesiyle birlikte vejetaryen pazar tüm dünyada büyümeye başlamıştır. Farklı vejetaryenlik çeşitlerini benimsemiş tüketicilerin yaşam tarzı ve tüketim tercihleri, pazaryerine doğrudan yansıyabilmektedir. Temelinde etik, sağlık, çevresel ve tinsel motivatörlerin yer aldığı vejetaryen yaşam biçimi, iyi oluş ve hayvan haklarını da kapsayan toplumsal adalet arayışı içindeki tüketicilerin sosyal kimliklerini şekillendirmektedir. Bu çalışma, farklı motivasyonlarla vejetaryenliği seçen Türk tüketicilerin, vejetaryen ideoloji temelinde iyi-oluş arayışlarını ve pazaryerindeki adaletsizliklere karşı gösterdikleri tutum ve davranışlarını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizi sonucunda elde edilen temel temalar, hayvanların nesneleştirilmesi; zulümsüz ürün; temel haklar, sağlık ve çevre; ötekileştirme ve grup-içi çatışma; kapitalizm ve fast-food endüstrisi çevresinde oluşmuştur.
