That Vegan Ideal post sure is, um, something. Ahem.
The food stamp post was really moving. Thanks for linking to it.
The Ben Does Life one. I know of the hiding and the regret and the justification, not just with the addiction I beat last year, but with food and more recently with cigarettes. I quit smoking (yeah, again) two weeks ago after coming clean to Steve that I had been using my inhaler again AND smoking. More like using it so I could still smoke without him thinking my breathing was getting bad again. When I was honest, the solution also seemed more obvious and I had helpful, loving support. It's that honesty step that's so hard, because of shame. All of us have to keep fighting that.
Melissa: I actually tried to leave a comment on that Vegan Ideal post (something on the order of, "You know that this post will reduce the number of people who want to try vegetarianism or veganism, right? I mean, if vegans can't have a sense of humor, who's gonna want to be one?"), but the blogger never published it.
The Ben Does Life website was new to me--I'd never seen it before. But after reading that post it instantly went into my RSS reader.
And yes, Kitchen Mage is a very skilled writer. That was an excellent post. Thanks as always for the feedback and for reading.
