"Go vegan but bacon. Three million views later, many had shared how they didn't eat any animal products 95% of the time, or only at home, or allowed themselves a hall pass item. Harm reduction is harm reduction, said Liz (which is vegan for it's better than nowt), before pointing out that most people make progress a step at a time rather than all at once."
"Vegan But Bacon proved so popular, the idea was then mooted that it could apply to other areas of life, as a radical antidote to perfectionism. Rather than being all or nothing and setting strict rules that stop us from reaching our goals, we could just Vegan But Bacon everything. Do some rather than not at all, because, hey, it's a start, and change can be challenging."
"Half-assing is the stepping stone to whole-assing."
Vegan but Bacon is a social media concept that encourages flexible, incremental approaches to lifestyle changes rather than strict perfectionism. Originating from plant-based creator Liz's response to someone unwilling to go fully vegan, the idea gained three million views as people shared their partial plant-based practices. The concept expanded beyond diet to apply universally as an antidote to all-or-nothing thinking. It promotes harm reduction and acknowledges that meaningful progress often happens gradually through small steps rather than complete overnight transformation. The philosophy emphasizes giving oneself grace while attempting change, recognizing that partial effort remains valuable progress toward goals.
