Discussion: flexitarianism vs veganism? Which is the more effective dietary?

​Animal welfare and climate change are both pressing issues. In light of both, you should probably try to reduce the amount of animal products you eat. But should you cut them out completely, to send a strong social cue to others? Or rather be 'flexible', so as not to appear extreme and unreasonable? Within EA circles, there is a lot of disagreement about which strategy is the most effective.

This will be an open discussion - and as the question is to a large degree a personal one, we won't be trying to persuade each other what to do, but rather discussing the reasons that inform our decisions.

We'll either meet at the Grosse Schanze if the weather is nice, or at the Pitteria (Längasse) if not.
