    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.

      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.
