Honey is such a weird grey area for vegans. I don't know whether I should consume it or not.

A thick, golden liquid produced by industrious bees, honey is made using the nectar of flowering plants and is saved inside the beehive for eating during times of scarcity. But how do bees make honey? Nectar — a sugary liquid — is extracted from flowers using a bee's long, tube-shaped tongue and stored in its extra stomach, or "crop." While sloshing around in the crop, the nectar mixes with enzymes that transform its chemical composition and pH, making it more suitable for long-term storage. - http://www.livescience.com/37611-what-is-honey-honeybees.html

are you still pescatarian, btwjust curious
No. My husband lost his job like a month or two into it and so we couldn't afford to buy separate meals (he doesn't like fish unless it's on sushi or shrimp). I still don't eat meat that often, but I still do.
