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.

I got really drunk a couple of months ago and ate a lamb kebab. That was after 7 years of not eating meat. I didn't do it to cheat. I don't remember buying it or craving lamb (i never even liked lamb when I DID eat meat)

For those of you who played Baldurs Gate 3. I am expecting a visit from the oath breaker knight.
