This is a good example of the “black and white” reasoning some people use to abandon vegetarianism—that it’s better to do nothing than to do something that falls short of perfect commitment. The same reasoning that some people use for not recycling, guzzling gasoline, turning off unused lights etc. because anything short of living completely on solar power in the woods is not worth bothering about.
From a great comment on a Serious Eats post about someone who gave up vegetarianism to eat all kinds of pork.
