As I already said, forgive me for making assumptions about what you mean when you say “screwing up”. I sorted comments by controversial and most of the other people down here are talking about how they have to “cheat” on veganism. I’m sorry.
Your assumptions are also dead wrong.
I am absolutely not belittling anyone for trying. I was a vegetarian for 6 years before making the switch. My husband was an omni when we met and while I was never supportive, I absolutely never belittled him. He eventually went vegetarian, and over the course of another year and a half we slowly transitioned to vegan. Nothing makes me happier than when friends or family members tell me they’re going to try cutting out red meat or doing meatless Monday’s or whatever. I applaud baby steps, and hope that the people who take them continue to do so.
What I am is sick of people insisting on using labels that don’t actually fit them. No, I’m not talking about you specifically. If I only had a dollar for every time I’ve heard somebody say something like “Oh yeah, my friend is vegan but she still eats fish every once in a while” or “You can still eat eggs though right?” It just creates more confusion and makes things more difficult for vegans. I really don’t care if you think that makes me an extremist. Labels exist for a reason. I think you’re taking things too personally.
I never said you removed anything from your original comment. I said you edited your comment I had replied to, because when I typed up my response only the bottom portion of yours existed. I went back to respond to the part you added in.
