It's so terrible when you take into consideration that dairy is literally still a huge deal in the realm of advocating for animal rights.
You stopped eating meat but still consume milk, cheese, and butter? Congratulations! You want a trophy even though you're still funding a shit ton of animal exploitation and slaughter?
Imagine a conversation that goes like this:
This is what "baby steps" vegetarians sound like to me. I'm also always extremely cynical when it comes to their claim that they're even "transitioning" to veganism at all. Years from now, they'll still be stuffing their face with cheese and eggs, and by then, it wouldn't shock me if they started adding meat back into the equation too. The "baby steps" shit serves as an excuse so that they can feel less guilty for endorsing the dairy and egg industries, while knowing they're barbaric, and even then, it's not a good one. It's actually more excusable for someone to be lacto-ovo out of ignorance than it is to be one who knows the full extent of things like the dairy industry but claims to only be gradually progressing to veganism.
