Oh, lordy, please don't phrase it like that. Your heart is in the right place, but people won't hear such a direct attack on their way of life. Try to be encouraging and we may all benefit. Like they say, "Don't make 'perfect' the enemy of 'good'."

Example: I am not vegan. I'm not even vegetarian, but because I live with a vegetarian I don't eat much meat. When I do, my better half is kind about it, saying things like, "It's okay. I know you've really cut back on meat and that helps." Instead of making me angry, sentiment like that makes we want to cut down further.
