Nowhere did he say that shey should go vegatarian over vegan just that vegetarian would be a minimum first requirement. You can always optimized from there to ad infinitum.
Paul and Linda McCartney are famously vegetarian, they are not vegan themselves and they don't promote veganism ... they only promote vegetarianism. Paul McCartney only suggested the conference go vegetarian, which of course doesn't mean he wouldn't support them going vegan, but my point was always that his own vegetarianism and advocacy only for vegetarianism is hypocritical.
Don't make perfect the enemy of good. You can dig almost ad infinitum into food ethics and levels of veganism to the point where you lost the plot and everyone left the room.
yeah, that's my takeaway as well
