‘Farmed Animals Don’t Have Cheat Days’: Q&A with Cat White, Author of The Imperfect Vegan

In her book "The Imperfect Vegan," author Cat White challenges the notion of perfection in veganism, advocating for a more inclusive approach. She defines an imperfect vegan as someone who strives to choose vegan options but doesn't beat themselves up for slipping up occasionally. White believes that the world needs billions of people doing their best, rather than a few perfect vegans.

She suggests that reduction, rather than elimination, is a more practical approach to reducing animal product consumption on a global scale. White emphasizes the importance of allowing individuals to be 'mostly vegan,' as it encourages more people to try plant-based options without the pressure of perfection. Overall, White's book provides tips and stories from 'imperfect vegans' to show that everyone can make a difference by making small changes in their diet and lifestyle.
