Not really, not right now! I’m still making a net positive change, but one that is easy to maintain.I also choose not to drink cow’s milk but still eat yogurt and cheese. I just do what works for me and incorporate as many ethical eats into my diet as possible. I felt really guilty at first, but I’ve learned to be at peace with my decisions and make the best decision I can based on what options are available to me. I never thought in a million years I’d do this, but in the past few years I have started cooking fish, poultry and meat-based dishes for friends and family.
I don’t feel so “stuck” in the kitchen anymore when it comes to healthy eating and cooking!I definitely agree with the statement about putting rigid labels around things. I’m not the textbook vegetarian by any means, and I’m not perfect, but I’m an ethically conscious eater.I decided I wasn’t done yet with my comment … LOL.I think because of this conversation I will change the “about me” information on my blog to state that I am an ethical eater instead of “vegetarian”. I want it! That isn’t an insult or a put down in any way. So why should vegetarianism/veganism/”ethical” eating be any different? how? i felt like a fraud, for lack of a better term, for so long, because i didn’t follow all the “rules”. I have educated myself of factory farming and, as you said, subsequently made the best choices for me.
This did not happen to me at all for the longest time when I decided to eat vegan. She didn’t deserve to be called any names at all, but I think the reason anyone commented was because of it.Heck if I had a food blog I am sure I would contradict myself at some point too. I think that we often hold veganism to a high standard, as if it’s the perfect diet. Instead, I acknowledge to myself that I’m making a concession.
I’m a “pescetarian” leaning towards vegetarianism, and I also practice the “gray area.” I don’t drink cow’s milk and rarely have cheese, but I love greek yogurt and ice cream. There is no such thing as the “perfect” way to approach eating. .I’m working at a summer program with 60 high school students right now and since I’m a vegetarian, I’ve been asked a lot of questions like: when?
To eat completely ethical/clean would actually be inconvenient for our busy schedules, not to mention expensive.
Curiousity is one thing, and I don’t mind trying to explain my views to people but its really frustrating when someone seems judgmental of choices that only affect me anyway.Great post! I needed to read this today and my reasons have absolutely nothing to do with food.I just would like to point out that I get frustrated when people get so blatantly judgmental towards bloggers (which is different than disagreeing) who never outwardly express judgment themselves. We can be anything we want to these days and eat any way we wish. I don’t think anyone was calling her out for eating what she wants, but just because the statement directly contradicts her action.Having met Caitlin and knowing that she is an honest, sweet person, I think she just made a small error by this contradiction. So, I started to eat a vegan diet after that weekend. .Great post – we talked about this last night on #fitblog chat.
I HATE when people assume that any vegetarian has the ultimate goal of being vegan, and is just “working up to it” – I, for one, put dairy and other no-killing-required animal products in the same ethical bucket as any other corrupt, disfunctional corporate practices: am I horrified by the state of the industry?
There is no ethical difference.Not to speak for Caitlin, but I don’t think she was implying that milk and yogurt come from different places or one is worse than the other. .I LOVE this post… it puts into words what I’ve been feeling for the past year or so–ever since reading some of Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman’s work and watching Food, Inc.I don’t want to completely give up meat or dairy and I worry about the quality of soy products (thanks Monsato!)
