To think ‘Flexitarian’ isn’t hypocritical?

My DH and I have been gradually phasing meat out of our daily lives. For environmental and financial reasons. I’m not finding it difficult to not eat meat day to day, but I refuse to cut it out completely. I will still enjoy a cheeseburger at bonfire night, roast lamb at MILs on the odd Sunday and a nice steak on our anniversary.

I said to my DSis today (who is a full vegetarian) that I think our balance works well and if everyone did the same it actually might make a difference environmentally, and for animals. She is adamant that it makes no difference and I’m just a hypocrite who may as well eat meat all the time.

It’s really got my back up because I feel like I’m genuinely doing my bit and she’s just stamped all over it! Am I being a hypocrite?!

@C8H - i guess it’s not useful to you but it might be useful to other people who take an interest in others (who might not share their priorities). This might be for curiosity about people’s interests or what meals might be like if you were staying with them or researchers into dietary trends. Each to their own I guess.
