The Label. VEGAN. It means different things to different people. Some are scared of it, some don't understand it, some use it as a badge of honour, some use it to attack others (I still don't get that one) but in my opinion it is a personal label- you have to decide what it means to YOU. There are dietary vegans, strict vegans, vegans 99.9% of the time, vegans expect in the case of medical care etc etc. If you're committed to living a kind, plant based lifestyle that avoids harming others I would consider you vegan. I know there are others out there who will disagree with me but guess what? its my blog :P So I get to tell you what I think. I believe your intent is key to this point- if you are trying your hardest to eat a vegan diet but you find out after you ate something you previously thought was safe that it had traces of milk in it does that make you not vegan? um no. It means you need to become a label reading, wary of others cooking for you vegan.
The Line- you need to work out what being vegan means to you and where your line is. You can not be perfect. There will always be something you can not avoid (contributing to companies that own businesses that use animal products, animals possibly hurt in grain production, animals affected by the growing of vegetables, eating in omni restaurants etc) you just have to do your best. Personally I draw the line at medical care- things I can not reasonably avoid. I will not buy painkillers with lactose in them but I will accept vaccines that have used eggs to produce them. Call me a horrible vegan if you want but I have the desire to stay healthy and happy. So there you have it, the thing that will drive you crazy is working out where you stand on all the little things you don't immediately think of when becoming vegan.
