Veeg-Log Day 11

Weight: 280.2

Entry One – 6:45pm

I got a new scale. It sucks. It says that I’m fat again. Boo. Actually, I figure that if my old scale was a few pounds low yesterday, it’s safe to assume that it was a few pounds low for my initial weigh-in, so one can safely assume that the poundage lost is the same – even though it’s disappointing as hell that I’m not actually under the 280 mark like I thought. Ah well… hopefully tomorrow!

I’m currently sitting on my front porch finishing my taxes (woo.) and sipping on a Crispin Extra Dry Hard Cider (WOO!). Manly, I know – but cider is delicious! I was supposed to be sipping on a Crispin Honeycrisp Hard Cider, until I realized that instead of honeycrisp apples, the cider is composed of actual honey. (and... crisp?) This leads me to a “ask the audience” question. Is it legit for a vegan to consume honey? Word on the street is that it’s kind of a controversial point amongst the veeg-crowd; as it’s generally safe and natural for the bees to produce it. A bee-keeping friend of mine (HI KYLE! Unless you don’t read my blog, in which case: YOU SUCK, KYLE!) tells me that the bees are treated very humanely (many times BETTER than) and they will continue to produce honey naturally whether it’s harvested or not. In light of this, some vegans feel it’s okay to eat it, especially if it’s procured from a trusted, local source. Other vegans adhere to the code “no food that came from a face”. Bees have faces – honey’s off the table. (Literally.) Thoughts? (Okay, all you voiceless vegans out there, it’s time to weigh in – I’m legititmately interested in your opinions!) Kelly is a non honey nommer, though, so I too shall remain bee-poopless for the next twenty-one days.

Okay, time to head down to Kell’s. We’re going to walk over to The Livery (Our local cow-town saloon) and enjoy the best damn veeg-burger in the Chippewa Valley. Seriously, it’s BOMB. I ordered it even before my little challenge! Be jealous. Lata playas! 

Veeg-D, outski!
