It's fine. The catalyst for good discussion isn't typically everyone agreeing and getting along.
Dairy products assist intake of the full spectrum of nutrients. It's not just about a "sip of milk" or what I like on my cereal.
A million people caring a "minimal amount" is better than a million people not caring at all.
Meat - an industry at the very top of the environmental impact list. I call for the abolishment of live export and improvements to other factors of the industry such as slaughterhouse standards. I eat meat infrequently and place importance on where it comes from.
To suggest that it's the "height of irrationality" that I eat any meat at all, is to claim that by buying meat I somehow support the entire industry with all its flaws and variables. But I can eat meat and actively vote and push against the standards I disagree with within the industry.
Everything we do has some issue, environmental or otherwise up the chain. The mining of precious metals, or the massive problem of e-waste doesn't mean I will avoid buying gadgets, but I may buy them less frequently and choose the gadgets built to last. If millions do that, industry change can happen.
