I wish you would be more accepting to non-vegans. If someone decides after 35 years to go vegetarian, that's fantastic! If a family decides they are going to stick with meatless Mondays, that's great too. People commit to what they can and slowly the population in making a change. You should maybe rate the book as a piece of literature instead of automatically 'poo-pooing' it because the woman can't decide.
I disagree 100% with HoopMoo. For one thing, VegNews celebrates veganism, not half-way-there. If you want pussy-footing around the truth, or apologies, read Vegetarian Times.
For another, there's a difference between people who haven't fully educated themselves on the moral tragedy of eating animals, and someone who knows and still whines they face a moral crisis. There is no moral crisis with veganism; meatless-mondayers and vegetarians are either uneducated about what we do to animals, or are lying to themselves that it's ok in small amounts/certain situations.
Keep celebrating at the full vegan party, VegNews!
