I encourage you to use a term like "aspiring vegan" or "mostly vegan" or whatever describes you. Binary terminology is a disservice. Everyone cutting meat by 5

Everyone cutting meat by 50% is more impactful than 5% of people cutting meat to 0%

- jszymborski 4y agoI feel like "flexitarian" is a largely deceased remnant of the mid-aughts but I like it. It expresses that one is not dogmatic about the practice, but is mostly conforming. "Aspiring vegan", to my ear, kinda sounds like one thinks about it, but performs zero action towards it, which is a bit of a disservice to those who do indeed consciously do not eat meat for the majority of their meals.
- Klonoar 4y agoI’ve used the term “opportunistic vegan” before - I.e if it’s possible I’ll probably do it, but I’m not gonna kill myself over it.
- jszymborski 4y agoI like that!
