I really don't mind eating Vegetarian meals, but Vegan is too far for all but a handful of meals.

The lack of dairy is my cutoff point.

That being said, I'm not a Vegetarian, I just make vegetarian meals regularly for my family because they enjoy them. I also make a lot of reduced meat meals, where it's a flavour component rather than a significant nutritional component. Like throwing 30g of Bacon in a stew per serving, or halving ground beef with tofu on a rice bowl.

I don't get why people are down voting this. Your approach is a perfectly acceptable blueprint for reducing meat consumption. Getting upset at you because you haven't fully embraced veganism is letting perfect become the enemy of good enough.

I agree, reducing meat consumption is all heading in a helpful direction. But I do get a bit irritated by how every mention of the word "vegan" triggers someone to pop up saying "Here's why I'm not a vegan." It seems defensive, irrelevant, and a bit self-centred. So I wouldn't assume all the downvotes reflect vegan purism.
