The way I see it, anybody who does anything at all for the sake of something they believe is right is doing the right thing, regardless of what they are not doing.

Couldn't have said it better Engine.
I try to live by my own flexible set of morals. I'm not perfect and I don't expect others to follow my rules or beat myself up over not meeting other peoples' expectations.
As for vegetarianism I'm fortunate enough to live somewhere with a wealth of dietary information and readily available alternatives so that I am free to choose not to consume products that I deem as harmful to animals. I try to avoid paying someone else to do something that I wouldn't be prepared to do myself.
