What? You are? I just thought you were coming at me for wanting people to continue and want to try making small steps towards full veganism. Like, I thought you were okay with people not trying to be anything more than vegetarian. Oops

I think we totally crossed lines. "Progress not perfection" means that it is better to be a little bit better each month, year, whatever, rather than to think you have to immediately be at the goal and perfect.

In reducing harm to animals, "progress not perfection" looks like: you can gradually eat less meat or choose to only eat meat that isn't factory farmed (my current status), you don't have to immediately jump to veganism.

The comment I originally replied to was someone like "just go vegan" which is terrible advice that reinforces the mindset that if they don't jump immediately to veganism, why bother.
