Today is my 28th birthday, and while it may be a tacky thing to do, I’m going to ask you all to give me a gift today.
The gift I would like from all of you won’t cost you any time or money, and is much easier to give me than you may think it will be.
The gift I would like from you is the commitment to go Vegan for one week.
One week. Seven days. Twenty-one meals.
That’s all I’m asking. That’s all I want.
To celebrate the passing of another year in my life, I encourage you to celebrate all lives. The gift you give to me will be a gift to all animals.
One week. That’s all I ask.

So I am prepared to honor your birthday wish, but I ask if you are OK with me keeping the cheese? I have been a vegetarian for over 8 months now (no fish, no chicken, no milk, no meat, no eggs) however the only thing I have kept was cheese. As a birthday wish though I could probably give it up for a week

I’m glad to hear you’re already living with a diet that has eliminated all of those animal products. That’s wonderful. But, I’m gonna be a stickler about this and not allow any cheese for the week. I know cheese is a tough one to give up. The reason being that there are small amounts of addictive opiates in it. So, much like a drug, you can actually become addicted to cheese. Just hold strong and you can make it through. And even feel better in the process!
