I think another thing to remember is to not chide that family member or friend who thought they were making something vegan for you, as long as you know it wasn't malicious. Maybe a gentle reminder of how the ingredient in question isn't vegan, but thank them for making the effort to try and make a vegan dish for you. Not being ungrateful for people's efforts has made me feel so much better in life. To not focus on the mistakes. ❤️❤️
That's so true (especially in regards to eggs and dairy). It's hard to remember all the "dos" and "don'ts" of veganism. Not to mention, if you criticize everything they make for you, they may not be as inclined to do so in the future.
Becca Yeah, so true! I'm gluten intolerant and people mess that up all the time, too. They tend to only remember the no bread/pasta thing, but are forget that the stuff hides in all kinds of foods where you wouldn't expect it. I always feel so embarrassed when someone took the time and trouble to cook for me, or bring me a 'food present' or something and I have to announce, that I can't eat it 😦. But then I don't want to bring the subject up all the time either, because it's sounds so obsessive, talking about what you can and can't eat all the time....
Lately someone gave me a cake saying that is vegan. I asked like 100 times if he is sure. After I took a bite he told that it only contains eggs and butter. I was like what? are you kidding? i was like "i will never again trust you".
I'm sorry that happened to you.. Our boss brought in "vegan Krispy kreme donuts" today and my coworker and I ate them thinking they were vegan..I called them after work and they didn't answer and it shows nothing about vegan things on their site. (She ordered them and they gave them to her) I know they are vegan in the UK, at least vegan options.
Sadly I've mistakenly eaten a ton of things nonvegan😭 I always remind myself that it's about the intention and that I didn't intend to do it. Also, a fellow vegan told me that veganism is about compassion and that means to be compassionate towards yourself! And being compassionate does not mean being hard on yourself!
Please make a video on "accidentally vegan" foods/ convenient vegan foods when you don't have time to cook. Also a video on sneaky non vegan ingredients/how to read labels and make sure it's vegan
I love how accurate this actually is tho when it comes to food having animal products for NO REASON!!! like plain flavors of chips will have milk, tins of cashews will contain gelatin ugh like WHY
I recently learned that a brand of cinnamon crunch cereal contains wool grease. Like wtf. And it's not labeled on the box, someone found out by asking the brand.
Went to a restaurant and got a gardein vegan burger. I was served a chicken burger that looked identical. Took a bite and thought nothing of it at first cause it tasted so similar. Then I looked at the texture. Almost cried...
Katie Michelle I'm always so scared of that happening! Like the chef being against vegans and thinking "I'm gonna ruin their lifeeee!"...always a dumb fear of mine lol
I am eating mostly vegan for 1,5 years now - I consider myself a vegan even tough I consume diary from time to time, because I know what I am doing it for. But when I am on vacation or a roadtrip, it sometimes can get very difficult to find vegan food that isn't just lettuce or fruit without anything else. Also, in some restaurants you can most probably veganize food, but can't be a 100% sure it's vegan. But I think to myself that as long as I am healthy, mostly vegan (i would never eat meat though) and happy, that is what counts. And I for myself know that if I eat 95% of the time vegan and the other 5% vegetarian, this diet is something I can do for the rest of my life. If I forbid myself everything, I can't substain a happy vegan life for centuries - and in the long time mostly vegan saves more snimals that following the vegan is cool thing for a year and then going back to meat. To only thing bad about it is that I still meet people who call me a fake vegan because I am not perfect, and I think that's really sad. Most vegans I met were supernice, but online there can be very judgemental ones - like writing under every non-vegan food diary that they HAVE to go vegan - that doesn't appeal to others, it just makes our community look very unfriendly. And if I am out eating with non vegan friends, I do eat salad with hopefully vegan dressing and bread - if it contains minimal amounts of milk, I can' change it, but at least I am not THAT vegan one who only sits around and doesn't eat along....Sorry for my random criticism, I just find that this community is a lot more open than others and I just needed to say/write it one time. Thanks you reading :)
I totally get it! I never understand why some vegans give other vegans such a hard time if they're not 10000% vegans all the time and if they sometimes make a mistake. Good for you that you're 95% vegan and that you do your best. You do a lot better than others! Think about all of the meat eaters in this world. Why aren't these exact vegans focusing on spreading the word about veganism to meat eaters in a non aggressive manner instead of attacking and pinpointing other vegans mistakes? That's my two cents.
In my family its so disrespectful not to eat what others serve you, and if its something I dont like I tell them but if they serve me for example cake, I will eat it even tho its not vegan. They took an effort to make me something plus I dont want to burden anyone with my food choices.
Yasemin S. it is ok to make a mistakes,you don't have to be perfect, but when you know that thing (that you're eating) isn't vegan that's not a mistake .
Ok i actually ate something that had SOMETHNG not vegan in it yesterday and lets just say this morning was so bad i had to call in sick to work so... even though this is bringing me back to yesterday, im sick in bed and its giving me a good laugh ;)
well, im not sick in bed but since i was so sick this morning, and called in sick, i get to laze around for the rest of the day so i'm glad you uploaded :D
I ordered a vegetarian samosa and I was served a beef samosa. I took a bite and was pretty confused. I realised after a couple of bites that it was beef. I was pretty annoyed but that doesn't mean i will yell at the clerk and get upset. You just gotta move on
On a vacation with my family in Italy(I'm from the U.S) and I talked to the restaurant to make sure they understood I was vegan and later ended up finding out cheese was in my tomato sauce on my pasta. Cried and cried about it tonight so watching your video made me feel tons better.
I never beat myself up about buying/eating non-vegans products accidentally. The damage is already done after purchasing it, so I usually just finish it and move on and make sure to avoid it in the future. Veganism is a journey after all, and it's not as if you have to press some sort of reset button if you accidentally eat an animal product.
That was kind of my first reaction when I accidentally ate something that wasn't actually vegan. The most recent time I accidentally ate a non-vegan product was at Chili's and thought that their rice was vegan--I was just so upset because I've been eating their rice many times, not knowing that they put chicken broth in it--and I blamed the company but now I found out it was kind of my own fault for not reading those guides clearly. I haven't been to Chili's in a while, though.
I can tell this video definitely took a lot of courage to make and put out into the world! I love that you're venturing out into new styles of videos! You can only learn and grow by trying new things:) keep up the good work xo
I had been vegetarian for many months and I bought a cereal a few times but never thought to check the ingredients since why would a cereal have a meat product in it.... I was wrong. Bought them recently and since I'm now my trying to eat vegan I figured they may contain milk, and when I checked the ingredients only to find they contain gelatin 😡
I did the same thing when buying Frosted Mini-Wheats and never realized until months later! Luckily very few cereals have gelatin in them and they're mostly, nearly all vegan.
@@biancac412 Actually, most cold cereals (at least in the U.S.) contain vitamin D, which is usually from sheep, so they're not vegan. :'( There are several that don't have vitamin D added and are vegan, though, such as Life, Cap'n Crunch (of all things, lol), Grape Nuts, and a few others.
I've had similar experiences. With ice cream I thought it was vegan, the brand is called "minus the moo". I was so mad , it was actually lactose free , the name is so misleading 😤
I made a lentil soup with veggies in the morning for when I’m back later and when I came to eat it in the afternoon my dad (who knows I’ve been a vegan for a year and a half now) had put bacon in it, BACON there’s no way he would’ve thought it was vegan, and the thing that makes me mad the most is that he saw I was heating it and that i was about to eat it (it only took me eating one spoon until I saw the bacon 😭😭😭 i didn’t are any, but everything boiled with it and it honestly makes me feel really bad and disgust to have eaten that😭) , and he didn’t tell me anything, and when i confront him about it and ask him to stop putting things in my food without telling me he gets upset and does it again, idk what to do I can’t eat in confidence even in my own house with the food that I made 😭😭😭
Girl I just found out that a cupcake my friend gave me 2 weeks ago was not vegan! They didn’t know either but I am soooooooooooo upset! I’m so strict about why I eat, I try to stay away from junk food but I let myself “live” a little and it bit me in the ass ☹️ Thank you for this video because I’m so disgusted and angry about it, I know everything you said already but it was truly validating and comforting to hear you say it. I think it going to start posting videos about veganism, since people ask me about it and I’m so passionate about it. Although it would explain my last breakout, I’m just grateful I didn’t get sick from it! Needless to say I will not be accepting any cupcakes from anyone, ever😂
I went to Cosi today. Ordered the smart fit salad no sweet potatoes and asked if the lime dressing was vegan. The cashier said yes. So, ordered it since I'm kind of tired of vinaigrette. About halfway through chowing down I decided I should verify. Went to the nutrition info on their website and ugh!!! There's milk in the salad dressing and in the bread slab they give you. Gross. Threw it out after that. It's hard to find vegan options here in DC for a quick lunch other than fruit and larabars from the drug store. It sucks but I won't give up. There's a vegan food truck that goes around town so hopefully I can catch that one day. For now, I think I'll just bring lunch from home - save myself some money and yucky ingredients!!
I accidentally messed up I’ve been vegan for 2 years and I picked something up in the vegan section that was new and I wanted to try it. all the labels checked out until I later read online that company contained dairy... I’ve been freaking out all day because I’m always so cautious, and this video really helped calm me and brought a smile to my face... so thank you!
Thanks so much for addressing this! It has happened to me in my first few months transitioning to veganism and it feels good to know this happens to everyone. I definitely need to work on being easier on myself though.
One time I ordered a retried bean chimichanga. There was no meat in it originally, it came as just a plain refried bean chimichanga. And THEY PUT CHICKEN IN IT. WHY.
couple of years ago I was working at this busy cafe and i was trying to be nice and compliment the chef. but very little was vegan and we got these breads with hummus and veggies. the chef told me is vegan and forgot, the chef forgot... there's butter all over the bread under these veggies. I noticed after first bite, asked and he claimed to have forgotten and laughed. I told my manager who was right there and they both laughed like it was funny. immediately started sobbing and crying hysterically running to bathroom quickly and I wanted so badly to make myself throw up(I did struggle with recovery from bulimia even around this time) but I did not. I was more hurt by these people laughing and being so insensitive and rude than actually eating the dairy by mistake. I was more disgusted with their response. fortunately I calmed down and when I came back by manager apologized and explained she had no idea how important this is to me and she's so sorry for laughing and she asked if I was alright. I definitely felt better. the chef wasn't as kind or sincere probably because he takes the rejection to his food personally(which I understand) but like.... terrible experience overall.
I ordered a vegetarian pita (which was vegan) once on a party with non-vegan friends and I got a pita with chicken (even though we discussed which sauce was vegan..). I thought I could eat it, because it would take extra effort to order something new and the chicken had to be eaten by someone. I'm still relatively new to veganism and don't feel grossed about cooked flesh and think about environmental reasons too - the food probably would've been wasted and the chicken would've died for no reason. Probably there was another way of managing this situation, but I don't feel bad about it. I still consider myself a vegan, I'm in a good mindset and going in the right direction.
So hilarious! Yesterday I was at a wedding and it was all so overwhelming watching everyone eat around me and try not to draw attention to myself - so right just to move on
Love the video!! So glad you have more frequent ones with your new lifestyle change. Hope you're still happy with your decision!! I'm proud of you for following your heart and passions 💓🤙🏼
I am becoming obsessed with your videos!! I have recently made the switch to being a vegan and your recipes have been so helpful and inspiring! In addition to food, I was wondering if you could make a video about more natural/vegan body and makeup products (deodorant, toothpaste, lotions, skincare, etc). It would be so helpful!
This video was hilarious. Thanks for this entertaining explanation of what to do after eating something not vegan. It happens. 🙍Anyway, your humorous side is why I love watching your videos! 💓
Very nicely done! I have definitely learned the fine art of reading labels after ingesting a few non-vegan items. It's gross, but you can't beat yourself up about it. Thanks for sharing this message Caitlin!
My kids and I watched this together (they are 5 and 8) and they thought it was hilarious - my daughter loved it especially because she and I eat very little animal products (on our way to being vegan) and she can get a little like this when she finds out there's meat or dairy in something - thanks for sharing!!!!
I've been vegan for a few months. 💃🏻 I was innocently eating the most delicious moroccan houmous the other day, so good in fact my friend asked what was in it, I turned it over to see it had *honey* in it! Literally had no occurred to me that houmous could not be vegan, but now I know. Thank you for making this video. I knew associated guilt would be one of the hardest parts of turning vegan. Always feeling you could and should have been better, but trying your best is always better than not trying at all. 👍
That "attempt of humor" was hilarious! :'D You're so right!! I know a lot of vegans who get totally stressed when eating out - like "what if they can't/don't/do ...." - which can really ruin the whole experience of going out with them ^^' Guys, relax, it's not the end of the world if you make a mistake :D (and most of the time you probably won't even notice)
I've been vegan for about a year and a half now and the WHOLE TIME I thought Tostitos hint of lime chips were vegan for some reason and I just recently found out they weren't, I was a little upset but now I know!
Angie Greer i was upset about this too! if you have a Trader Joe's near you try their Restaurant Style tortilla chips "seasoned with sea salt and lime" because they taste super similar and don't contain milk!
So glad you have more time creating such beautiful, funny, smart, inspirational contentquit college now that you quit college. Seems this is your path to make this world a little better place
I came to this video after eating fried tofu that had egg in it (I usually order without but my brother ordered for me and forgot to) and this made me feel so much better!!
Have an idea for a potential vegan starter kit video. Could you focus on what to expect from your body when you fully transition or even have partly transitioned into a plant based lifestyle? I'm still really new and the higher intake in fiber has really made itself known if you catch my drift... ;)
This is something I struggle with when I go out to eat places and I'm accidentally served something with cheese. If I send it back and it's thrown away, isn't that defeating the purpose of being vegan in the first place? That whole plate of food went to waste when I could've other wise eaten it because it's already been made... thoughts?
I ordered olives and they came stuffed with venetian meat - had no idea after I had a couple but checked the menu as I wondered what they were stuffed with! Laughed it off and just made sure to remember to check and not assume olives always come plain :)
LMAO, that intro is gold. I'm lactose intolerant, so when I accidentally consume dairy, it's like "Well, time to die.".
ah yikes! yeah, definitely not a fun time for you
Lithostoic OMG same here...people don't understand...
Caitlin Shoemaker Not at all!
SmallGirl Vs BigWorld Especially when you're out and you order the dairy free version, and they give you the dairy version.
i am lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs it ain't a fun time when i accidentally eat something non vegan 😩
I think another thing to remember is to not chide that family member or friend who thought they were making something vegan for you, as long as you know it wasn't malicious. Maybe a gentle reminder of how the ingredient in question isn't vegan, but thank them for making the effort to try and make a vegan dish for you. Not being ungrateful for people's efforts has made me feel so much better in life. To not focus on the mistakes. ❤️❤️
Yes ❤️
Definitely!
True! Agreed.
That's so true (especially in regards to eggs and dairy). It's hard to remember all the "dos" and "don'ts" of veganism. Not to mention, if you criticize everything they make for you, they may not be as inclined to do so in the future.
Becca Yeah, so true! I'm gluten intolerant and people mess that up all the time, too. They tend to only remember the no bread/pasta thing, but are forget that the stuff hides in all kinds of foods where you wouldn't expect it. I always feel so embarrassed when someone took the time and trouble to cook for me, or bring me a 'food present' or something and I have to announce, that I can't eat it 😦. But then I don't want to bring the subject up all the time either, because it's sounds so obsessive, talking about what you can and can't eat all the time....
That awkward moment when her spinach chips are literally just leaves of spinach, lol.
Lately someone gave me a cake saying that is vegan. I asked like 100 times if he is sure. After I took a bite he told that it only contains eggs and butter. I was like what? are you kidding? i was like "i will never again trust you".
I'm sorry that happened to you.. Our boss brought in "vegan Krispy kreme donuts" today and my coworker and I ate them thinking they were vegan..I called them after work and they didn't answer and it shows nothing about vegan things on their site. (She ordered them and they gave them to her) I know they are vegan in the UK, at least vegan options.

lanolin??? ewwww no one should be ingesting that!!
Went to a restaurant and got a gardein vegan burger. I was served a chicken burger that looked identical. Took a bite and thought nothing of it at first cause it tasted so similar. Then I looked at the texture. Almost cried...
Katie Michelle was it beef?....
no I ordered a vegan chicken burger (the gardein patty) and was served a real breaded chicken burger
Katie Michelle I'm always so scared of that happening! Like the chef being against vegans and thinking "I'm gonna ruin their lifeeee!"...always a dumb fear of mine lol
I'm so scared of that, it is upsetting if there is dairy or egg but meat would make me cry
this happens all the time to be when I eat out. which is why I hate eating out haha
Haven't even finished the video but had to stop and say that was the funniest intro ever. When you threw the spinach leaves in the trash 😂😂😂
haha thank you!
Omg I died when she threw the spinach leaves away 😂

In my family its so disrespectful not to eat what others serve you, and if its something I dont like I tell them but if they serve me for example cake, I will eat it even tho its not vegan. They took an effort to make me something plus I dont want to burden anyone with my food choices.

Sarah K that's right but please don't call yourself vegans because you aren't.
Caitlin you had me in tears 😂😂 i swear ive literally scrubbed my mouth with a toothbrush after eating someone non-vegan by accident!
Briee Paigee someone?😂
Briee Paigee Please don't eat the non vegans 😲
Ok i actually ate something that had SOMETHNG not vegan in it yesterday and lets just say this morning was so bad i had to call in sick to work so... even though this is bringing me back to yesterday, im sick in bed and its giving me a good laugh ;)

I had not read your shirt and was really confused when you took it off so quickly :'D
lol yeah i realized that afterwards...oops
i've never laughed at an intro so hard in my life
"Spinach Chipz" hahaha LOVE IT
My favorite part is when you threw the spinach, throwing food is funny for whatever reason

So hilarious! Yesterday I was at a wedding and it was all so overwhelming watching everyone eat around me and try not to draw attention to myself - so right just to move on
This was so funny! I almost fell of my chair at work while laughing out loud! You're brilliant and inspiring! Keep on the good work!
Love the video!! So glad you have more frequent ones with your new lifestyle change. Hope you're still happy with your decision!! I'm proud of you for following your heart and passions 💓🤙🏼
I thoroughly enjoyed this video but especially the beginning :') You had me laughing out loud in bed
OMG THE INTRO I LOVE YOU
I am becoming obsessed with your videos!! I have recently made the switch to being a vegan and your recipes have been so helpful and inspiring!
In addition to food, I was wondering if you could make a video about more natural/vegan body and makeup products (deodorant, toothpaste, lotions, skincare, etc). It would be so helpful!
Lmaooooo the beginning is great 😂😭😂😭❤️ love your stuff!!
I love that humor side of you !!
Beginning of this video is the BEST thing what i've ever seen, seriously)
Thanks for your starter vegan kit videos. It is really helpful!
Needed this 💗 Tell my why a basil spread has milk in it and the one time I don’t look😭😭😭😭
Please make more what I eat in a day!!! I really need more food ideas
The intro was so good I had to watch it again haha :P
This video was hilarious. Thanks for this entertaining explanation of what to do after eating something not vegan. It happens. 🙍Anyway, your humorous side is why I love watching your videos! 💓
Your intro was awesome! Great video I really needed to hear this message
So cute!! I just found your channel and been on a serious binge! ✌️💕
The start was hilarious!!!! love watching your videos :)
Very nicely done! I have definitely learned the fine art of reading labels after ingesting a few non-vegan items. It's gross, but you can't beat yourself up about it. Thanks for sharing this message Caitlin!
I love all of your videos! This one was hilarious, your personality is so amazing 😂💕
My kids and I watched this together (they are 5 and 8) and they thought it was hilarious - my daughter loved it especially because she and I eat very little animal products (on our way to being vegan) and she can get a little like this when she finds out there's meat or dairy in something - thanks for sharing!!!!
That INTRO is LIFE
Throwing the spinach in the garbage was the FUNNIEST thing I've seen all week. 😂😂😂👌
Love it, love you. I appreciate all the effort you're putting in your videos, greetings from Mexico. 💗🌱
Lmfao why have I felt like this before?!? 😂😂😂
I just ate something that wasn't Vegan and I was crying and sad. And then someone send me link to this video and it makes me feel better. Thank you!!
Loved the introduction.👍👍 video
I replayed the beginning and laughed so much 😂 this is a great video 😅😅
I've been vegan for a few months. 💃🏻
I was innocently eating the most delicious moroccan houmous the other day, so good in fact my friend asked what was in it, I turned it over to see it had *honey* in it! Literally had no occurred to me that houmous could not be vegan, but now I know.
Thank you for making this video. I knew associated guilt would be one of the hardest parts of turning vegan. Always feeling you could and should have been better, but trying your best is always better than not trying at all. 👍
Took a photo of the ingredients so I can focus my energy on making a delicious vegan version.
I love that!
Perfect timing for this video
That "attempt of humor" was hilarious! :'D You're so right!!
I know a lot of vegans who get totally stressed when eating out - like "what if they can't/don't/do ...." - which can really ruin the whole experience of going out with them ^^' Guys, relax, it's not the end of the world if you make a mistake :D (and most of the time you probably won't even notice)
That part on the beginning was hilarious Caitlin :p
the scene in the shower is huge!
that's exactly how I feel.
So Funny 🙃
Thanks for making a video about this! ❤️
I've been vegan for about a year and a half now and the WHOLE TIME I thought Tostitos hint of lime chips were vegan for some reason and I just recently found out they weren't, I was a little upset but now I know!
Angie Greer i was upset about this too! if you have a Trader Joe's near you try their Restaurant Style tortilla chips "seasoned with sea salt and lime" because they taste super similar and don't contain milk!
😆 I'm dying! Haha haha that was hilarious! Made my day! Thanks Caitlin
Vegan for 2 months so far but sadly I ate a bar that I thought was vegan... it had eggs 😭😭😭 so I watched this vid
OMG I laughed so freaking loud at the short video!! I'm dying!!!
I definitely need to work on being easier on myself, thanks for this video!! It was so funny.
So glad you have more time creating such beautiful, funny, smart, inspirational contentquit college now that you quit college. Seems this is your path to make this world a little better place
I come back to this video every time I mess up
PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS
Gosh, i love Your videos. You give me some kind of a good energy that makes my day! Thanks! ❤️🐷
I came to this video after eating fried tofu that had egg in it (I usually order without but my brother ordered for me and forgot to) and this made me feel so much better!!
Have an idea for a potential vegan starter kit video. Could you focus on what to expect from your body when you fully transition or even have partly transitioned into a plant based lifestyle? I'm still really new and the higher intake in fiber has really made itself known if you catch my drift... ;)
omg the beginning was hilarious😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I loved the intro. . . been there before. . .
Great video
Lmao that happened to me my mum gave me icecream and said it was vegan and when I checked the ingredients after eating it I cried lmao
The begining was hilarious 😂
omg that intro was gold I loved it 😂😂
This is something I struggle with when I go out to eat places and I'm accidentally served something with cheese. If I send it back and it's thrown away, isn't that defeating the purpose of being vegan in the first place? That whole plate of food went to waste when I could've other wise eaten it because it's already been made... thoughts?
OMG! i choked on some peanuts 😂😂😂
I ordered olives and they came stuffed with venetian meat - had no idea after I had a couple but checked the menu as I wondered what they were stuffed with! Laughed it off and just made sure to remember to check and not assume olives always come plain :)
Thank you for making this video!!
Reminds me of my favorite piece of vegan merch from Food Fight! Grocery in Portland: "Vegan means I'm trying to suck less." Yeah. That sh*t. 👌 👌 👌
Those Spinach Chipz looked legit! 😂😂 👍
😂😂the intro was hilarious😂😂
I laughed harder than I should have, but this was INCREDIBLY entertaining
Wow I mean we already knew you're funny, but that sketch was AMAZING hahaha
