Quiet vegan, I empathize. I have made so many countless slip ups, especially when someone wants me to try something that they made ''vegan" just for me, and I know it isn't. I think I'm in it for real this time though, as this is my longest streak. What I think helps for weak moments is to keep a picture of an adorable dairy calf and one of a male chick in your wallet. Best trick ever for me, it's like they are watching me from my pocket.
And pony boy: many soft pretzels are glazed with butter, so just ask the vendor.
