    It’s a big sticking point for many, and I felt the same way making the transition from vegetarian to vegan. In the end, I found I didn’t miss it as much as I thought I would, but that’s just my experience.

    I appreciate your sentiments, and your efforts to limit your consumption. I will always applaud someone who eats a vegan diet 5 or 6 days out of 7. If everyone could manage something like that, it would make a huge difference :)

      And I appreciate your non-dogmatic point of view as you hit the nail on the head - having a vegan diet 7 days of the week for sure has a bigger (positive) impact on the world than having a vegan diet on 5 or 6 days.
      But even 1 day a week is better than 0 days.
      We mustn’t allow ‘perfect’ being the enemy of ‘good’.

        Agreed. I make an effort, though I’m not gonna pretend that I’ve ever been shamed for not being vegan, despite what the stereotypes suggest.
