Also known as Hokie loving Diet Coke drinkers, Granolas are a specific breed of tree huggers who will deny their alliance with non-showering hippies to all ends. Do not let this fool you, they are all around - even at your workplace. Common characteristics of Granolas include a distinctive "trash" smell, a love for organic food, and constant discussion of the latest Ellen Degeneres show.

There are many forms of Granolaism, but one of the most severe is denial. Once a Granola reaches a state of denial about his/her current condition, there really is no hope.

An adjective used to describe people who are environmentally aware (flower child, tree-hugger), open-minded, left-winged, socially aware and active, queer or queer-positive, anti-oppressive/discriminatory (racial, sexual, gender, class, age, etc.) with an organic and natural emphasis on living, who will usually refrain from consuming or using anything containing animals and animal by-products (for health and/or environmental reasons), as well as limit consumption of what he or she does consume, as granola people are usually concerned about wasting resources. Usually buy only fair-trade goods and refrain from buying from large corporations, as most exploit the environment as well as their workers, which goes against granola core values. The choice of not removing body hair (see amazon) and drug use are not characteristics that define granola people, and people, regardless of granola status, may or may not partake in said activities. This definition is sometimes confused with hippy.
