I'll take the flexis, alright. But only if they consume less animals than the one hardcore vegan. :)
Do you know how you stop smoking? You realize you are addicted to it and it's killing you and that's when you quit. Noone smokes less and less until it's over. I feel the same mindset with many people who call themselves flexitarian. To them, meat is still a great tasting food they have to restrain themselves from. That takes effort. They talk about it, they excuse themselves for it, it's a big topic for them. Because deep down they know as much as I, that it's a bad habit that needs to go. But they are afraid to lose something they like so much.
