Ya see, Im a lacto-ovo vegetarian,But I don't usualy eat alot of dairy products, But today I desided to try this pineapple cream cheese spread on some toast, and stupid me, after I was done eating it I looked at the lable. What I saw made me soo ill. It had gelatin in it! Im so stupid, I usualy ALWAY read every lable before I eat something. I feel awful that I consumed something like that. :'( Im I still considered vegetarian?
Dont treat it like a label! You're not stupid at all. Everyone makes mistakes and accidentally eats something we normally wouldnt. Dont beat yourself up over it. :) You'll check labels from now on since this bothered you so much, I'm guessing? .. On that note, if that by-product bothers you so, why doesnt dairy and eggs?
my parents won't allow me to go vegan. (they think i'd lose weight) I will only eat organic dairy producs, and cage free organic eggs. But thanks for the advice.
hey you
I'm vegan, and yesterday I made some lovley chocolate cake at work, wich contained both eggs and milk and butter.
And why do you think I can say that it was lovley? Because I had some!
There's no point in having stupid rules for yourself. And, I feel a need to break my rules once in a while, to sort of remember why I went vegan in the first place.
And what happened when I had some cake? It tasted wonderful, but then my stomach when wild with pain. I just needed to know it eggs/dairy suddenly had becom extremley good, tasty and .. wonderful! but it hadn't. so I'm still a happy vegan!
