I'll still eat animal-derived products under certain circumstances:
a) I'm absolutely certain it came from an non-factory farm, ethical source
b) If in consuming it I in no way contribute to the demand for factory-farmed products.

So far I've encountered situation a when a coworker brought me a few eggs from her neighbors backyard chicken.
And I encountered b) when a friend gave me a leftover piece of chicken that they would have otherwise thrown away.
If she had bought it with the intention of giving it to me I wouldn't have taken it, but we weren't that good of friends.
