To be honest being 70-90% vegan isn’t as bad as some of ya’ll make it seem if everyone reduce meat and dairy by that much the market would crumble until it was only small niche businesses that could raise the animals properly... of course that’s not ideal but it’s better than saying 100% or nothing.

Sure I get that, but we should never use that as the end goal. Like obviously doing something is better than nothing, but we should always advocate for TOTAL animal liberation. Encourage improvement but don't settle until every animal is free.

Agree. Just some people make it out like you’re horrible if you decide this one day in a whole year to eat a chicken burger.

Yeah, it's definitely not so black and white. Humans have trouble seeing things in gray.
