I've written a bit about how I have made innocent errors. Now I realize I do not have the mental fortitude to ever become truly vegan. It just takes too much out of you.
As I have been extremely busy with work as of late, I have not had much opportunity to cook food for myself and rely on some regular places to grab a quick bite. Most frequently of all, I have been going to a local burrito place and having a yam burrito without dairy. This manages to keep me full without violating the tenets of veganism. Or so I thought. Unfortunately, yesterday I went in and asked for the veggie burrito with no dairy, the guy behind the counter told me that their burrito sauce has a mayonnaise base.
I have been eating a ton of these things! Easily, 2 or 3 a week since the beginning of the month! Now really, I had no idea this was an issue. When they said burrito sauce, I envisioned a thin hot sauce with pepper and sugar and so on. I certainly didn't taste a sauce that was thick with mayonnaise. Then again, since I always had guacamole when I ate one of these, it would be difficult to taste. But I didn't know!
Which comes back to mental fortitude. I never even considered the possibility of this, because I lacked the vigilance to truly be vegan. If you are really vegan, you would need to be vegan for every second of the day and paying close attention to everything that goes into your body. Sounds like a good idea, I know, but how could you ever do that forever? I mean, and not go crazy?
