Anyway, your argument is a perfect example of "don't let perfect be the enemy of good." It will be much easier to convince people to become vegetarian or vegan in the future if they first get used to not eating meat with every meal/every day.

I don't mean to equate anything here, but do you think that would have been an effective strategy for social change in other movements?

Like: "What if we just did a little slavery? It'll be much easier to convince slave owners to give up slavery if they got used to having just a few slaves."

Do you think that would have been an effective strategy instead of calling for complete abolition?

Once again, I'm not trying to draw a comparison here, you could substitute any past social movement, but the logical structure should hold regardless.

That's exactly how most social movements, including slavery, evolved, but OK.

Have you ... not heard of the civil war?

Which one? Do you mean the one from the country that went from enslaving black people to enslaving prisoners who so conveniently happen to be black?
