Honey? Seriously?

Yes I'm that far gone. Well kind of. With Veganism, it's difficult to understand where it begins and ends.  I've questioned in the past week if I wanted to eat something based on a certain ingredient in a packaged food that had been tested on animals (according to a vegan online forum). Am I against fur? Am I against leather? Is my Veganism about my body or the bodies of animals? I don't know anymore.

What I do know is that I feel that to fairly call myself Vegan I have to abstain from eating anything that can live and die. Yes, I know you can say that about plants. If you don't feed them you can kill them. With that said, I'm going to go ahead and lump bees and their honey into the food ban list.

This past weekend my Dad proudly shared that he bought some Steve's sorbet for me. The flavor was Blackberry honey. Now I've had said sorbet before and I'm just not a fan. I think I've even blogged about this before. There are two camps of dessert people. Fruit or Chocolate/Creamy. I find sorbet's a bit too tart for my palette and prefer to have Almond Dream ice cream. When I declined the sorbet due to the honey not being Vegan my Dad gave me this look like "Seriously?!? Come on." I found the moment hysterical because for once I think he realized he created a monster. His influence has maybe taken me a step one too many. We shall see.
