I saw a vegan eat a twinkie, so does that mean they are not vegan?!


Question: I saw a vegan eat a twinkie, so does that mean they are not vegan?
I was in line behind a person I know who is vegan at the store. I saw them getting a twinkie, so I questioned them about it and told them it has dairy in it. They got all huffy about it and said it was for someone else in their house. I asked him why would he buy twinkies at 2am in the morning at 7-Eleven for quote un quote someone else in his house. That is just a lie.

So, is he really a vegetarian or a vegan?

Answers:

He's not a vegan if he eats Twinkies.



Why does it matter so much to you? Even if this person was lying about being vegan or "cheating" or whatever, how does that have any effect on you? It would lie on their conscience, not yours.

And I can tell you, I've been vegan almost eleven years, and I couldn't count the number of times I've bought some non-vegan food item or other non-vegan item for someone I know, and yes, even in the wee hours of the morning. This is because I'm a nice, caring, generous person, not because I'm buying bacon or sour cream or Gillette razors or whatever to go home & eat/use myself.



It's a bit judgemental of you to automatically disregard this persons reason for purchasing the twinkie. I can't even count the amount of times my boyfriend has done a midnight snack run for me!
If the person was a guy and he was in line purchasing tampons and said they were for someone else in his house would you have thought he was lying??

My advice, give them the benefit of the doubt. And if they were lying, take comfort that at least it wasn't a huge piece of steak.



eating it or buying it it is so confusing ..actually twinkies do not have dairy in them they have Elephant milk in them elephants are not dairy I know this because i used to have to milk the elephants at the elephant mines.

Bear with me; I'm slightly confused. Your title question says that you "saw" this person eat a twinkie. Yet in the body of your post, you said that this person was "buying" a twinkie. So was this person eating it or buying it? ( o _ O )



Maybe he was lying, maybe not. I have done the midnight snack run for someone else, and often enough if I am running to the store will offer to pick something up for my friends. Why do you care?



twinkilopes are fondly known as the 'wild yellows' an in nature are difficult to catch, once they are caught, however, can be delicious.
