I don’t judge you for using it, but you can’t just simply say ‘i believe it is vegan therefore it is’. It is animal produce. And as for ‘exploiting the bees’, seeing as bees pollinate the plants we need to survive in the first place and we’re taking away from them something that takes some of them lifetimes to create- it is kind of exploitation. It’s a bit unfair to suggest because they’re insects they’re less important than the rest of the animals. Just like the bugs crushed to make food colours and nail polish – Bees lives matter. When the bees go, we’ll be soon behind them and they’re dying at an overwhelming rate. Not to mention the fact that you can get honey alternatives sometimes for cheaper than the real thing!

I have been wanting to try changing my diet for years and I always get discouraged when I encounter tyrannical vegans. I do care about the environment, animals, and sustainability. However, my main objective is to improve my own health. It can be scary trying a new diet without having a safe place to ask questions. I’m changing my lifestyle not joining a cult. Thank you again for your blog, I find it to be a safe place to explore healthier living without harsh judgement. People like you make it easier for people like me to succeed. I’m looking forward to trying many of your recipes on my family!

I couldn’t agree more! I absolutely hate feeling like being a vegan is a part of my identity. Food should never be something that defines us personally. Going vegan is just the WAY to accurately show the world who you really are, which you’ll be able to do through the energy, happiness, and gratitude you gain from the food you eat. The vegan lifestyle is so not something that we must obey! It’s a mindset that we actively choose for ourselves every morning we wake up. People need to calm down. I say eat as much honey as you want Jordan… there aren’t any vegan gods we’ve gotta impress!

Yes! I’m so glad you agree. The last thing we need is people misunderstanding why we as vegans have chosen our lifestyle. I love that – we are all doing the best we can in the moment. Hope you love the smoothie 🙂 xo

Awww Alanna I absolutely loved reading this comment. It’s so awesome hearing from someone who was raised vegan and has come up against similar issues. I know exactly what you mean – being vegan is a huge part of your identity and if anyone wants to judge you for the small choices you make then they have issues of their own. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me! I agree – as long as you are being true to yourself and your body then it doesn’t matter at all what anyone else thinks! You go girl. We should all stick together in this amazing vegan lifestyle 🙂 we know what we are doing is right! Sending you lots of love.

Thanks Kelly! You have to let me know when you’re in NYC so we can explore vegan food places together!
