The thing is, if you want to reduce dependence upon animal products and increase sustainability, you can expend 20% of the effort to go 80% of the way, and not spend another 80% of your effort to go the last 20%.
The pareto optimal curve is a real concept, and you don't need to go full vegetarian or vegan for you and the planet to reap the benefits.
- maxxxxx 10y agoThat's what I tell a lot of people. Reduce meat by 90% and you already do a lot of good. 90% reduction is pretty easy to do.
- ScottBurson 10y agoHaving been a semi-vegetarian for over 25 years, I agree completely. I eat yogurt and cheese frequently, eggs or poultry a couple of times a week, and the occasional fish; never beef or pork. It works for me.

- scholia 10y agoAbsolutely agree. There are also animal products that can be produced ethically, including eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt. In passing, anybody who eats a lot of salads also eats at least a few insects ;-)
