I’m not perfect.  Shocking, I know.  There are likely many who would call me ‘not vegan enough’.  And I understand their perspective. But I can’t help but wonder, are we doing the vegan movement a disservice by criticizing each other and expecting perfection?  By demanding more from omnivores and vegans alike?  By focusing solely on the negative, on what still needs to be accomplished, rather than how far we have already come?

You may well call me not vegan enough.  

But the good thing is, I don’t need your approval.  

We’re on the same team, we’re routing for the animals, for our planet, for our health.  We are on the side of compassion.  So while we may not always see eye to eye, we are far more similar than we are different.

And that’s good enough for me.
