I read an interesting discussion on someone claiming that they ate plant based food rather than being vegan, as veganism is a loaded term these days. Suggesting people eat a more plant based diet is an easier concept to internalise than veganism.
That's a good idea :)
Whether it's true or not, veganism is associated with self righteous people, and also with complicated diets and the lack of nutrients nonsense. Plant based food isn't, and sounds like it's something that you can just pick up while you're shopping, rather than trying to figure out what you're supposed to do with quinoa and tofu.
I'm a bit fan of flexatarianism, aka half vegetarian. It's a lot easier on my body (which can barely digest red meat) and the environment.
It just means you mostly eat plant based with the occasional meat. For me it's mostly sausage or chicken when I do eat meat.
