I would argue that the person willing to give up 95% of their meat consumption cares more about making a change than the one telling them not to bother at all because it’s not the full 100%. 

According to one survey, which has some interesting statistics on veganism:

52.1% or 6779 participants said they were vegetarian prior to going vegan.

Research suggests that people are more likely to stick to habits that they adopt gradually rather than suddenly making drastic lifestyle changes, and it’s much easier to reach 100 from 95 than it is from 0. Maybe a better vegan substitute for bacon will be invented in that time and they’ll give it up even sooner.

As another user here says, don’t let perfection be the enemy of good.

With enough cocaine usage, you can tear down the partition wall and have yourself a uninostril (not recommended).

Being overly pushy and judgmental towards people who want to make a change in the right direction is a great way to repel them from your cause. I prefer to welcome them and offer them the proper resources to get started.

It’s entirely possible that once the people who want to go vegan but aren’t ready to give up bacon/cheese/that one other food get used to a vegan diet and substitutions, they will eventually be ready to let go of those last few products on their own.

The BlackBerry Curve was great. I kept using mine until support ended for most of the apps I needed on BlackBerry OS :(

I still keep it as a spare phone and for travel.

This is an effective strategy for me because of how much I dislike clutter and leaving things unfinished. One of the cases where the end result matters more than the method used to achieve it.
