not vegan

I’m a cheater, too–just of a different kind. I am a vegan, but that is just 95 percent of the real story. The other five percent is kind of a lie. I’ve been vegan for years, which means I don’t eat or use any animal products at all–no meat (obviously!), no poultry or fish, no milk products, no eggs, honey, leather, fur–you get the idea. Some of my good friends are vegan, too, which makes it easy. We cook together, we sip soy milk together, it’s like a big happy scene.
Thing is, without my vegan posse, things get a little more complicated and I . . . cheat.

And if you think I only cheated that once, you’re wrong. Like most cheaters, my cheating wasn’t a one-time deal. I often find myself at the local coffee shop, meeting friends to chat, or just catching up on emails. How can I be expected to resist those delicious-looking, fresh-baked scones? Especially when I’ve been running around all day and my tummy is grumbling so loud. I call it my ‘don’t ask, don’t tell policy’ wherein I really hope the barista won’t ask if I’m vegan, and I definitely won’t tell her that I am!
So yes, I’m a cheater and I don’t make excuses or feel guilty, either. I say I do it for others, you know, to be courteous, but really, sometimes I just really want that croissant!
Are you vegetarian or vegan? What do you think about girls who say they’re veggie but then “cheat”? Tell us in the comments!
Want an even more scandalous confession? You won’t believe what this girl did!

Can You Trust Him?
Honestly, I do exactly the same thing. I will never eat meat, but every once in awhile not asking if something has dairy in it is something I’m fine with. Feeling guilty about a personal choice is silly and seems like stress that doesn’t need to occur, unhealthy. Everyone is different, militant veganism is not everyone’s answer.
Turning down food is never as rude as not being a good host and feeding your guests properly. Say if you were allergic to dairy and eggs or gluten or something, you couldn’t exactly “cheat” on an allergy and get away with it. I think it would be a pretty rude move on the host’s part to invite someone with special dietary needs and then let them go hungry for the night. In these situations (as a guest) I bring a little snack in my purse just in case. There’s no need to compromise your morals in order to give the front of politeness. Just be courteous but convicted.
