What Lies Between Almost Vegan and Vegan

http://freefromharm.org/animal-products-and-psychology/what-lies-between-almost-vegan-and-vegan/

Here is an interesting article revealing why people choose to be "almost vegan." I love this quote, "Could it be that the “almost-vegan” fears such social scrutiny and seeks to avoid it? And this question begs yet another: Is it worth abandoning our values to fit in or conform or pacify the interests of other non vegans in our life when the consequences of doing so are literally a matter of life and death?"

I have chosen to tell people, "I eat a vegan diet, but am not a vegan" for the very same reasons listed in this article. Social scrutiny being #1.
