I'm moving toward eating predominantly veg and fruit and plant based, but I'm never going to call myself vegan or vegetarian, for the same reason I don't call myself a christian. I borrow the good I see in a philosophy and make it my own. I also dislike labels because they rarely describe anything well.
These days it's almost a necessity to make it the large part of your diet purely because of how prevalent disease is, and how much points to such a diet slowing or even reversing the progression.
IMO the best thing anyone can do is learn to listen to their own body, it will tell you when you are eating **** and when you're healing it. It takes a lot of patience and trial and error but that's how I have done things for nearly 10 years and my diet has transformed rather significantly in that time.
