very long way from there towards a 'plant-based diet' - or a 'Mediterranean diet' - without any danger of overshooting and ending up as a vegan.

I agree, but as I've shown elsewhere on this thread, there are health risks associated with consumption of olive oil. Also, fish is loaded with toxins, which is a staple of the Mediterranean diet. Even the fish one gets from a farm might be riddled with toxins:

I am the poster boy for the fact that, if a person really wants to switch to a plant-based diet, they can. I used to eat huge quantities of meet and cheese everyday. After a few days of eating nothing but plant-based foods, my tastebuds adapted, and my tastes changed.
Most of my health problems, such as sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, etc., are diet-related. I have, for the first time in my life, put health and longevity above however good food might taste. I am actually really loving all the non-fat vegetarian food I am eating.
