I got an e-mail from PeTA2. Apparently, today is the day of action against Wet Seal; they use rabbit fur in their lines! Disgusting! They'll be getting a phone call from me later on today. Heh. I feel odd going on this site, as I "broke" my vegan ethics yesterday; at Josie's, these amazing muffins were given to us in lieu of bread (it was brunch)...and they had honey (and maybe egg whites too) in them. And guess what? I ate one. Oh, gasp.
I weighed the situation and decided that my pleasure was more important than abstaining in that instance. I decided to let my hedonistic side take over. And I have no regrets.
I hate when people hold me as this great, pure deity and point out any small "mistakes" I make in my veganism or whatever. The most ironic part is that most of these people are full-fledged omnivores. Where do they get off telling me I'm not being animal-friendly?
And just in case this was unclear, lemme make it clear for you: I am not perfect. I am not pure. I am not a vegan. I am on a strict vegetarian, mostly vegan diet, and I have vegan ideals, but I do not live a true vegan lifestyle; I occasionally eat casein and honey, I buy silk and beeswax products, and my haircare and some of my body products have animal ingredients in them and may have been tested on animals. Veganism is my ideal, not my reality.
Heh, I was just thinking about how The Gates serve as a post-modern consumer culture icon. They're like the iPod; beautiful, yet evil.
