There are people in this very thread calling for perfection and calling the vegans and vegetarians who relapse into eating meat as described in the article as "failed".
Even you're falling into the trap of labeling people as X or Y or Z.
Why can't the goal be "eat less meat" ? If you want to quantify it, make the goal "eat ~50% less meat" than you used to.
Alternatively, bring down the meat consumption to the level of Norway or Switzerland or Japan, countries just as prosperous as the US, but with even better health outcomes.
Even something as simple as "order a mostly vegetarian dish every other time you eat out" would go a long way.
