I’m vegan and I eat plenty of fake meat. I’m vegan because I think it’s right, not because I dislike meat. Don’t listen to OP. You are good enough, and any reduction in the consumption of animal products is better than no reduction.

I went through a long period of transition before cutting out animal produce entirely, but have now been vegan for a good few years.

This is the way. It's like a relationship: if you have to force it, it's gonna be shit.

I cut down on meat significantly in the past 3 years. I eat mostly vegetarian, fish once a week and meat every once in a while. Overall, my meat consumption decreased by about 90% which I call good enough and I don't really have the intention to change that.

Yeah same here. I like fake meat. I mean, if it tastes good and has no animal parts in it, it goes into my mouth. It's not that complicated.

I've been talking a bunch of shit out of annoyance. And there's a bunch of posts echoing exactly what I was complaining about.

Even getting called a liar.

This is the only reasonable or polite response I've seen. Missed one maybe?

So thanks. I really shouldn't be painting the entire lifestyle with the same brush, because well here we are.

So I'll shut up, and say thanks. And for the record, my kid still makes me get the impossible patties. She's not veg anything, so ita just cause they're good and that on its own should be good enough. Not all is lost in my removed.
