Another beefy post

LONG story short, I accidentally licked some beef gravy at work because I thought it was balsamic vinagrette dressing. DAMN IT!  :)

LOL sorry.....I understand your frustration. My sig other gave me one of those little tootsie rolls a couple days ago and I ate it, not knowing I shouldn't eat it. Then I found out about the gelatin. I've been trying to be diligent about gelatin.  Then he brought home some Snackwell's cookies cuz he knows I like them. I immediately looked at the ingredients out of habit and lo and behold.....gelatin. I wanted some good multi vitamins that weren't gel caps (of course) so he got me what he thought were the best non gel ones. I read the ingredients and guess what again......gelatin! He does a good bit of the shopping but he doesn't read the labels if he thinks there shouldn't be anything weird in there.

I wanted to barf but then I realized that you can only do what you can do! Just because you slip up once or a lot doesn't mean you're not still doing your all for the cause "as it were". 

I'm still lacto ovo but I know that you can't know what all things are....er...does that make any sense? Don't beat yourself up over it, I think. I guess I could stop eating *everything* that said natural flavors but I choose to adhere to the first vegan thing I read that said that you should do all you know you can. If you don't know....you don't know.

Rafiki put it best... "It doesn't matter - it's in the past! You can either run from it, or learn from it." ;D

I know how you feel, though. I ate some soup this weekend and Mom had forgotten that there was chicken broth mixed in with the veggie broth. :P BUT, what can you do? Point is, now I know to double-check before eating that soup.
