I think it’s best not to mind people who try any level of veganism. Even if they are lying to themselves and others etc. if someone makes even the slightest effort that advances the vegan movement it works in our favor. You can see it happen in real time.
There are more vegan products on the market today that are widely used by people who don’t even want to be vegan. Plenty of people just prefer oat milk or almond milk or do it exclusively for health reasons. The vegan movement is a rare fringe movement that’s actually broken through. The more people choose to just do “everything vegan but bacon/cheese” the more the demand for vegan products grows and the more people are incentivized to stock their shelves with vegan food over expensive and expiration prone meat products. It’s a movement that’s happening because the trajectory is passively positive with no real social pushback. Maybe in another couple years we can even start to cut government subsidies to meat products in favor of vegan products.
