Vegan's only please ...?!
Vegan's only please ...?
Have any of you ever slipped up and eaten meat secretly? If so, and you can be honest, how did it make you feel?
Secretly meaning, a cheeseburger or an egg, like once a year.

Hey.... I'm a vegetarian, can I answer too?

First off *slipped-up* and *eaten secretly* are two different things.
I have knowingly eaten vegetarian food that had eggs (I don't eat eggs) because my grandma went out of her way to buy them for me out of love and I wasn't going to make her feel bad. I felt icky, but no physical effects. On most occasions I have found ways to dodge if she bought the wrong food.
I have not knowingly snuck anything though. I went vegetarian as a very slow process. I started with animal flesh, then eggs but not products that contain eggs, then products that contain eggs etc..
Now, I have had certain foods that I refused to check the labels in times of desperation; that would probably be sneaking. They were not foods that might have meat, and I did not make a habit of it.
Edit- It has been quite some time since I have had such questionable behavior by the way.

I had intense cravings the first year of going veg, but I also didn't realize how full a veg live could be. Fake meats helped me out a lot. So did learning to cook. I realized I could make the same dishes I had before, like beef tacos, but with veg *beef.* I guess this part is more of an answer to your other question, but no reason I can't do both I suppose. Go here for my thoughts on making the transition.

I couldn't allow myself to slip up and eat meat because I am the type of person who, once I give in once, I don't turn back, be it smoking, eating chocolate, or any other garbage my body wants.
~Good Luck

Okay, I had an intense craving for meat a couple of months ago. I don't know where it came from, but I had my boyfriend make some ground beef and I ate it by the spoonful? Isn't that disgusting? It was the most intense craving I have ever had for anything before though, and it felt sooo good after. Maybe my body was really lacking protein or iron or something.
However, I choose not to eat these products more because of my tastes than the theory behind it- although I do feel good about not contributing to the horrible meat/farm animal industry.
Not intentionally, but a "friend" once put meat in my food without telling me. The fallout from that was worse than chernobyl.
Meat-no
Cheese-once,but I won't do that again,it made my stomcah feel heavy,probably because of all that grease,and then I kept thinking of some veal calve dieng because of that.I was only vegan for like two months when I did that and I was still learning which products had animal by-products and still learing the "ropes".I went straight from omnivore to vegan,so it was a real big change in my diet.
I do admit, what happens to the animals is sad, but its live and die in this world. I'm a big guy, I can't live on salads, no way.
you would only be fooling yourself. Its not like the veggie police are going to turn up and serve you with a summons for it.
I am a pescetarian, so i eat fish but not meat. (i only eat it occasionally cos i have just gone vegy and didnt want to cut too much out at once)
I have eaten gelatin in sweets etc before, without realising, and i did feel bad, but it isnt much is it? And i didnt do it on purpose...i am doing the best i can, and i know it wasnt my fault, so i dont dwell on it, although i do now always check ingredients. Oh yes and i poured meat gravy on my roast round a friends a month after i turned pescetairan, but it was an accident,a dn i felt so guilty, but i couldnt chuck the whole meal away. I didnt realise it was meat.
At the time, i felt like it was the end of the world, like i had letmyself down, but i soon realised it didnt matter. I do alot more than some
yes, but not meat, cheese, i had cheese on pizza, but it's because i have nothing else to eat, its either cheese or starve and risk damage to my body, so i do cheat
it feels like crap, i carry trail mix with me at all times, to avoid this mistake from happening again
My sister went through a drive-thru once, ordered whatever without meat, got it with meat, after eating she was sick in bed for 5 days.
I had whole eggs in Hawaii years ago, I was sick all day.
