What I do is try to stay vegan/plant based as much as possible, which basically means everything I make in my house is plant based, but if I go to a restaurant that makes a really great X that's not vegan I might get it. Or if I choose to make something in my house that's not vegan, I'm going all out, getting the top ingredients I can get my hands on and making it a truly great version of that meal. I'm done having mediocre burgers at BBQs, smothered with cheap bacon and cheese. This food isn't good, but since we just cover it in tons of fat we convince ourselves otherwise, and along the way we ignore the massive amounts of animal suffering, deterrents to our health, and carbon costs we're inflicting because of these decisions.
You don't have to go 100% vegan/plant based, just stop making meat/dairy/animal by products the only thing you eat. Once you start you begin to get repulsed at the lack of vegetable options available to you at most places. Why is it such a crazy view point to eat something actually nutritionally good for you.
- dorchadas 5y agoThis is how I do it. Anything I buy and cook for myself is vegetarian at a minimum, more often vegan (the occasional cheese dip and eggs for brownies slip through), but if I go out somewhere with friends and they don't have a good veggie/vegan option, I do eat meat. Likewise if I go to someone's house where they're cooking of preparing food. I've found this to be a really good compromise to it, and often only eat meat one or two meals a week.
