  • I’m well aware of it being a broader ideology, and it’s one I support and strive to adhere to. That being said, one’s diet can also be vegan.

    Perhaps “cheating” was not the right word to use, but people can be quite complex. My conviction not to consume animal products occasionally loses out to other considerations. That doesn’t mean I consider myself to be a flexitarian.

    I try to cut everyone, myself included, some slack. The “you’re not a true vegan if XYZ” does more harm than good in furthering the cause. When looking at vegan communities, this one included, I feel like we can achieve more if we cut down on the holier-than-thou attitude.


  • I’ve been in this position a fair few times. I tend to just eat it, even if there’s meat in there. Otherwise the food will just be thrown out and then my impact on the environment is even larger.

    I suppose it does help that I only adhere to my vegan diet about 95% of the time. When I already occasionally cheat on my own account, it’s not as big of a deal when it happens on someone else’s account.

    Usually I do complain about it, however. And/or leave it in a review. Mistakes happen, I’m usually more concerned by how they handle the mistake.
