How strict a vegan are you?

Posted on 6 March 2010

Not all vegans are alike and many of the issues that face us are not black and white, but rather occupy the grey zone where there is no obvious right or wrong answer, merely personal choice or preference.

So what are challenging issues and circumstances that challenge you in your own life? And where do you lie – what are your own personal boundaries and limits when it comes to vegan issues when there are no right answers?

Would you:

• eat food that was cooked on a grill that had been used (but scraped down) to cook meat on?
• dine at a steak or burger house (surrounded by steaks and beef burgers)?
• cook meat for friends/family?
• buy animal products for friends/family?
• buy ‘cruelty-free’ personal care items that contain dairy or egg produce?
• buy goods that are animal product free but are made from a culture that was grown on dairy milk (e.g. Woolies soy yoghurt)?
• wear leather shoes?
