Somebody who, despite living an affluent lifestyle of commercialism and consumption, thinks that they are making a positive impact on the planet as long as they eat lentils instead of cheese. Vegans are almost always teenage girls who think that the natural world consists of harmless pink flowers and rainbows and that there is no such thing as the food chain.
"The vegan felt better about herself because she drove her gas-guzzling pollutionmobile ten miles down the road and back, killing countless airborne insects along the way, just to top up on soy milk"

Get the vegan mug.
a person who cares alot about the lives and well-being of animals so much that they abstain from eating all animal products and also do not buy any products which are tested on innocent animals.

Vegans follow a natural diet of only vegetables, seeds, fruit, legumes, etc.

They have the same selection of non-vegans, only the food is made with those listed in the "diet" part.

A vegan diet can decrease your risk of cancer, lung disease, obesity, and high cholesterol.

Meat substitutes can be just as tasty as regular meat, depending upon your tastes.

A vegan does not consume animal products of any kind, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, or even white sugar, which is typically processed using animal bone. Most vegans avoid wearing leather, fur, wool, cashmere, felt, down, mohair, and silk because of the pain and death linked to animal-based fiber industries. Also Vegan's try to stay away from buying products from company's who preform animal testing.

Vegan: Sorry, Can't buy it...they test on animals.
