In medical literature and studies, vegans are often described as someone who eats meat no more than once a month. :)

I’ve cut back on meat over the past couple of years, but I reserve the right to have a plate of chicken tenders when coping with emotional distress.

Sure, but that’s wrong and used for convenience. Veganism is an ethical movement that sees this exploitation as fundamentally wrong. That was the original definition, but the Vegan Society who created the term changed it (in the 1940s?) to include avoiding exploitation generally “as far as is possible and practicable”.
What you’re referring to is a plant-based diet(er). Calling a vegan “someone who eats meat no more often than a month” in the sense of how actual vegans use the term would be like defining someone who’s anti-dog-abuse as someone who kicks their dog at most once a month.

I never liked chicken nuggets until going vegan, lol. The plant-based ones are amazing.

Truuue, fast food chicken is fake as fuck anyway, it has already been properly imitated.
Even better, when I feel as a lazy fuck I throw the tendies to the microwave for 30s and eat them with ketchup. They aren’t “raw” so it’s safe to do so, suck it meat tendies you can’t compete.

Valid, I also treat myself to a steak for my birthday

“Vegetarian + tendies” is completely valid.
