That's my point. Even though I understand how unethical it is to eat meat, I continue to chose to eat it. I am not proud to remain a meat eater!
I only eat meat once or twice a week, and I try to consider the sources, but despite understanding the moral implications of doing so I have not gone vegan or vegetarian.
To my mind, this is similar to a situation in which I determine that using AI trained on unlicensed images is unethical but continue to chose to use those AIs.
I feel like "flexitarian" is a largely deceased remnant of the mid-aughts but I like it. It expresses that one is not dogmatic about the practice, but is mostly conforming.
"Aspiring vegan", to my ear, kinda sounds like one thinks about it, but performs zero action towards it, which is a bit of a disservice to those who do indeed consciously do not eat meat for the majority of their meals.
