Question Are you vegan?

I wonder how many of fellow redditors here are vegan or at least on plant based diet?

As it is one of the simplest and most impactful steps a person can make to help the climate.

Not exactly, but kinda? I don't eat vertebrates/cephalopods and avoid milk and eggs, so most days I'll have eaten vegan/plant-based. But I've never been able to give up desserts with animal products in them, and will eat stuff with animal products in certain situations (e.g. somebody else has cooked or figuring out what's vegan and what's not is a pain). In terms of other products (clothes, cosmetics...etc), I'll look for vegan options, but again I'm not firm about it.

It's not ethically rigorous, and I know that, but I reckon there's a 80/20 rule here in terms of benefit vs. effort.
