I don’t get why people are down voting this. Your approach is a perfectly acceptable blueprint for reducing meat consumption. Getting upset at you because you haven’t fully embraced veganism is letting perfect become the enemy of good enough.
What are the changes that we get people to have an animal-free day of the week, or even swap just 1 lunch and 1 supper on different days?
Compare that to the chances that we get 1 in 7 people to become vegan.
If the goal of most vegans is to reduce environmental impact and harm to animals, everyone reducing animal-based meals is the way to go. Also, when people reduce something, they will sometimes remove it completely.
I agree, reducing meat consumption is all heading in a helpful direction. But I do get a bit irritated by how every mention of the word “vegan” triggers someone to pop up saying “Here’s why I’m not a vegan.” It seems defensive, irrelevant, and a bit self-centred. So I wouldn’t assume all the downvotes reflect vegan purism.
