While we don’t all need to become total vegans, reducing the number of domesticated animals would have a significantly positive impact on both the environment and the quality of those animals’ lives.

This is where I'm at. Half-assed vegetarian. I don't buy meat but if someone serves it at a dinner I don't refuse to eat. Baby steps. It's making progress without the shock of an abrupt change all at once.

This. This is the healthiest take.

The healthiest take is to eat the best quality food you can afford that isn't ultra processed.

Vegan food can be slop - see beyond meat, meat substitutes, lab grown meat etc. Heck, even South Park made an episode about it.

(I know you meant *the healthiest take in the vegan-nonvegan dichotomy", but I just couldn't help myself, tee hee)

Yeah I turned meat into a “special occasion” food, and it was way easier than I thought once I got over the perfectionism. Animal products are a lot easier to reduce than completely eliminate, but every little bit helps.
