Seven Corndogs

My kids only eat the dog. They rip off and discard the delicious corn coating like it's a banana peel. Why don't we just offer them regular hot dogs, you ask? We do, but "they don't taste the same." Monsters. So now we don't buy corn dogs because I'm not paying corn dog prices for hot dog meals.

I actually had this experience recently. I grew up eating meat but have been considering giving it up and eventually becoming vegan. Thing is, no one around me is vegan so I'd need some kind of support network. It's hard to walk away from ham if that's what you know and love. I posted a pretty innocuous question to one of the vegan communities and the general response was that it was a stupid question, I should already know the answer, and I shouldn't waste time posting questions like that. All that told me that if I were to go down this road, I'd be walking alone. So making the switch feels a lot harder and seems a lot more daunting. Not saying I'm giving up on it, but I definitely find it more intimidating knowing that if I try to find a network, I'll be scolded for being a newb.

Yup, trying. The siren call of milk and cheese is strong, but my red meat consumption is definitely down. Most pork is gone from my diet. Even bacon is a rarity. I recently discovered that I don't hate oat milk. So I'm making progress, but still have a lot more to do.
