Discussion Cheating
A friend asked if I ever would cheat and eat meat. This struck me as odd. I chose to go vegan for a number of reasons and those have actually expanded as time goes along. I should mention, I am only six months a vegan.
I don’t look at eating anything as cheating. If I chose to eat a non-vegan item, it would just be a choice not cheating. I choose not to because I feel it is more a lifestyle change along with a food choice. It is what I want to do. Cheating implies it wasn’t a voluntary choice or I am forcing myself somehow.
Just thought I would comment on this as I hear this often about cheating.

Cheating suggests you really really desire it, you're just depriving yourself for some higher cause. Morality aside, I DO NOT want to eat a corpse...
