someone whose compassion for all living beings even includes the folk who felt it was okay to malign veganism with slanderous and incorrect definitions. to practice veganism is to avoid to whatever degree possible all products which are made from flesh or contain animal by-products with the exception of those shared between humans with mutual consent ( human breastmilk for example). most vegans also choose to buy organic foods manufactured by environmentally and socially responsible companies. to be vegan also means to embrace a lifestyle of compassion and non-violence. many people confuse strict vegetarianism, which is only dietary, with true veganism which encompasses all facets of a lifestyle and includes living your life with sense of the interconnectedness between all people, animals and our environment.
After reading John Robbins book " Diet For A New America" and educating herself about the detrimental impact animal agriculture has on not only the lives of animals but also our oceans, lakes, rainforests, topsoil, air quality and the health of human beings, Lisa made the very altruistic and gutsy decision to become a vegan.

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"

Veeganator
Is a Vegan on a mission
A Vegan is a person who has chosen a diet free of animal products.
The Vegan, after realizing the potential of a stomach that no longer is host to festering and rotting animal flesh and has freed oneself of pig fat, a Vegan is fore-ever changed.
The Vegan goes on a mission to change the world. However instead of killing and destroying mankind, a Veganator hosts Vegan parties, and puts down roots in country-side hippy fairs and exhibitions.
Note: The Vegans meet on the Planet Vegan, where they show little emotion and have pointy ears.
Dan: Did you see Jan at the Hoolo-Hip Fest selling couscous dishes ?
Steve: Yeah, what a veganator, she's the Arnold Swartzenaggar of the Hippie world
