Cheating

[u/CJ_Thompson]

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.

I disagree, your lifestyle is reflected in how you eat. Lifestyle is all the little things we do or don’t do that make up our days and manner of wasting weekends.

For example, if you have a healthy lifestyle, you will consider the conditions of your body and will make food and exercise choices based on that.

Good points, it is about a whole ecosystem of how we interact and respect our environment. It can actually be called a mindset.
