Well, the bottom line is, one never really knows another person's situation, and anyone who is so perfect as to sit in judgment of others given this is an idiot. Personally, I agree with trying to minimize my environmental footprint when I can, but I have life-threatening food allergies and less severe intolerances to many vegetarian staples (wheat, corn, dairy, flax, nuts) so for me, a vegan diet is not a healthy choice. I even met with a registered dietitian about it recently, and she kept saying 'well, normally I tell people to eat nuts...' I do try and eat vegetarian meals when I can. Generally, my meals and snacks up to dinnertime (when I am more likely to cook) and soy or legume based. But I'll have chicken or meat for dinner a few times a week because I am on doctor's orders to do so in order to maintain adequate nutrition given my not-by-choice food restrictions.
If someone were to challenge me on this, I would firmly explain that we all do the best we can. I'm sure if we audited their every habit, we would find ways in which they are less than perfect!
