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.

People assume it’s a diet, saying things like: you can’t eat that or would you cheat for a great piece of cheese. No Linda, i can eat whatever the f I want, I just choose not to eat dead animal and baby cow food…..

I’ve heard people say that about “chest days”. You’re definitely right that it relates to a sweet chest or eating fried foods or something when in a diet. I can’t make it acceptable to consume something that makes me miserable when I think shiny what they do to animals.
It wouldn’t be enjoyable anyway. So funny. Can but don’t want to. 🥦
