Tag: Vegan guilt

According to a survey published by the *New York Post*, about one in three vegans and vegetarians admit to having “cheat meals” containing meat. But what about when it’s not a choice, and you accidentally eat meat as a vegan? The experience can range from mildly unsettling to deeply distressing, triggering a range of emotional and physical responses.

According to The Vegan Society, accidentally consuming an animal product does not make you any less of an advocate for animals; your intention and consistent commitment are what matter most. This is an important reminder for anyone asking themselves, **what to do if you accidentally eat something not vegan?**, a common and often distressing experience for many on a plant-based journey.
