So, I've denounced my vegansim, which after posting that last blog, I realized is the dietary equivalent of Catholism. I can say that because I've been both vegan and Catholic. There are some definite parallels, at least in my view. Both seem to be based on guilt, judgement and deprivation at their worst, but have the ability to be beautifully artistic and inspiring, given the right congregation of followers. In any case, just as I have done with the spiritual religion of my past, picking and choosing what I like from all denominations to suit my own needs (which is probably blasphemy, but I figure it's better to believe in a little of everything, than nothing at all)...I have done with my dietary religion of the future. So here are my ten commandents for the velvet ant-ified version of veganism--which isn't really veganism at all, but it's more strict than vegetarianism. I guess it's the Baptist version of veganism? lol. My apologies in advance to any and all Baptists, it was just joke, most likely a bad joke for which I will recieve tons and tons of nasty angry comments...or maybe not, I don't know that many Baptist vegans come to think of it. And if I do, well...use this as solace...I don't subscribe to any one religion so I'm probably going to hell anyways...lol
The Ten Commandments:
1.) Thou shalt not purchase or produce any new item of clothing, shoes, or jewelry made from animal products (to include but not limited to wool, silk, pearls, fur, cashmere).
2.) Thou shalt only use vegan sugar. Bone-char filtered regular sugar is nasty.
3.) Thou shalt only by cruelty-free cosmetics and household cleaners.
4.) Thou shalt never consume animal flesh, with the exception shrimp to be consumed only in New Orleans proper. Preferably in the French Quarter only. This is to include, but is not limited to: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, shellfish, fish, and squid.
5.) Thou shalt only purchase organic, hormone-free dairy products, and use a soy option when it suits.
6.) Thou shalt only purchase organic, hormone-free, cage-free/free-range eggs and use another alternative when it suits.
7.) Thou shalt only purchase extremely high quality cheeses.
8.) Thou shalt only purchase micro-brewed beers to avoid isinglass.
9.) Thou shalt commit to eating at least 3 vegan meals a week.
10.) Thou shalt avoid processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and any other unnatural ingredients at all costs.
And a bonus: Thou shalt revise this list whenever it becomes outdated or too limiting.
