I have been committing to this the past few years, as much as I can financially handle. I think it's easier for me than it may be for others however, because I live in a really ag heavy part of CO, and there are literally cows grazing in my neighborhood. There are tons of small (and large) cattle farms within 100 miles or less, and it's not super difficult to get a share from a farmer you've met and trust. Many of my friends are part of ranch families, etc...just how things are here. Currently I'm eating only pastured/grass fed pork/beef from local farmers. Chicken is the hardest thing, and the best I'm doing right now is buying organic. Not much chicken farming going on in this area. I get backyard eggs from a neighbor once a week, and I eat no dairy products because I'm super intolerant, and I think dairy pretty bad for humans in general.
Not intentionally, I have reduced the amount of meat I'm eating by purchasing better meat, because it's quite a bit more expensive, so I eat smaller portions. But, I am gluten free, dairy free, bean free, etc...and I can't imagine cutting animal protein out of my diet, too. I'm an endurance athlete, and feel my best and strongest when I eat good quality animal protein, and tons of vegetables/fruits, with minimal grains/beans/nuts...which are huge parts of a vegan diet. I was vegan growing up, and vegan for much of college/after and I've never been in worse health or performed worse as an athlete. So, to each their own, but I do think it is super important to reduce/eliminate factory farmed animal products from your diet, for health reasons and for environmental and ethical reasons.
