Veganism is a militant form of vegetarianism. Vegan's are the people you'll see eating some of the most unhealthy junk at a health foods store. I've known vegeterians that grow their own vegetables. I've known those who eat meat tended to grow their own veggies also..Then again I live in pklahoma.... Anyway Veganism isn't an adequate diet, and actually many AMeican Physicians tell people to only goto Veganism if oyur planning on using supplements to get the other much needed nutrition in your diet..Depending on your lifestyle Veganism may be for you or may not be for you. NEver listen to Vegans themselves who think they know your lifestyle. If your job requires physical labour the yeah Veganism won't provide much.

Someone who slaughters and kills fruits, and vegetables.

People who refrain from eating any animal products (or anything derived from animal products) or using animal products such as leather, silk, or wool. It is a more strict form of vegetarianism. People who are vegan are often passionate about their veganism.

Somebody who abstains from consuming products derived from the exploitation of animal life.

Veganism is a diet that obstains from any animal products (meat) or bi-products (i.e. eggs, milk, wool, leather, etc).

Most people will assume that because you follow a vegan lifestyle, you must be a pretentious jerk (or in a cult). This is NOT always the case (although you do have your exceptions that give the rest of us a bad name).

Being vegan doesn't mean you have to be a part of any organization (i.e. PETA) or chain yourself up and protest. It just means that you choose to follow a 100% herbivore diet for whatever reason. Choosing to be vegan for diet purposes or animal rights purposes doesn't matter, as long as you're doing it because YOU want to.

If you do it correctly you DO NOT GET SICK and you DO NOT NEED SUPPLIMENTS in order to be healthy and happy. :-.)

Someone who abstains from the use of animal products, hides or meat.

1: someone who abstains not only from eating meat, but also milk, eggs, and anything else derived from animals.
Note: Not to be confused with a Nazivegan, who follows a vegan diet but flaunts one's veganhood over everyone else as if it is somehow morally superior. Kinda like saying that a gazelle is morally superior to a lion because the lion is a carnivore, you know? They're not better than each other; just different.

A person who out of respect or compassion for animals, the environment, creation, or their own self, has chosen to eliminate animal products including, but not limited to, meat, dairy, eggs, honey, leather and wool from their lives. Often reviled by society, they are a committed group, who put ethics and love before the dictates of their taste buds or tradition. Vegans often cross-identify as radicals, pacifists, hippies and new age spiritiualists.
