Oh My God! Thanks so much!
I have been feeling like a traitor and asfixiated almost, because I am not completely filling the requirements of being vegan. I love almost everything about it, except, I love fish too much. It’s been hard for me, I have had two fillets of salmon since I became ”vegan” a month ago. I have felt guilty partly because of this huge pressure they put on you. I understand their point, but it’s like, what they criticize the most, is what they become. They judge you and demand you be like them or you’re just not ”in”.
Thanks so much for saying out loud what I think and haven’t allowed myself to come into. Thanks.

I adore animals, but I do understand it’s also a process… so, Respect’s the word.

Alanis can be whatever she wants to be 100% of the time. If she has decided to cut out meat and dairy 90% of the time, that’s her right. Unlike some of the commentors here, she’s not shoving her lifestyle, or her motivations, down others’ throats. I, like her, have also reduced 90% of animal products out of my diet. I didn’t do it for philosophical reasons, I did it for health reasons. The remaing 10% represents my treats. I won’t hide in a closet, away from everyone, and eat ice cream and claim to be “100% vegan.” Doesn’t mean I have to go overboard and eat half a cow either. Go Alanis!

Thanks!!!!!!! I was going to say the same thing, but you saved me some time an effort, especially considering that it’s not easy for me to express myself in English.

nicely said emma… also many people are vegan + bee products or vegan + an occasional piece of fish. Nothing wrong with making up your own personal rules.

We are doing all we can to avoid animals murders. No leather if possible.

Of course it’s not Morissette’s fault that Michael Parrish DuDell didn’t bother to read the entire article he quoted from runnersworld.com, where she says she eats “full-blown” yogurt as well as soy yogurt. Or maybe he did read it and doesn’t know what a vegan really is?

Thanks to the people here who are trying to educate others as to what veganism is. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for it knowing that you will always have to face accusations of self righteousness and moral superiority.

thanks for addressing this…veganism is a lifestyle, not a diet. it’s more than just food. it’s also avoiding animal testing, leather, silk, wool, and on and on.
