A method to get out of eating some weird meat that you do not wish to eat.
Larry was invited to the Von Cider house. When they announced that dinner would be liver and onions, Larry (who loves steaks and chicken, etc.) said "that sounds great, but unfortunately I am a Vegan and can not eat that". Larry had successfully implemented the tactic of temporary veganism.

veganism 

Veganism is the ideas and underlying principles and beliefs as to why a person inevitably adopts a vegan diet. 'Vegan' only defines the type of diet.

Veganism has a commonality in principles, but is not exclusive, nor limited to the following;

Ethical - enabling animals to have rights to prevent torture, rape and murder of all sentient beings.

Environmental Sustainability - The impact animal production has on world. Ref. United Nations Report '07: Livestock’s long shadow.

Health - Global Famine, The shortening of life spans, and obesity ~ mainly heart related illnesses. Animal born Diseases, Athleticism.

People adopt some, the whole or no beliefs, yet are still vegans. The main point is that whatever path we have taken; it was a strong enough conviction to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
Q: How could you be a vegan, yet not believe in veganism?
A: Simple, by adopting the diet, yet rejecting the principles.

Daniel-Veganism 

A specific type of veganism that manifests itself when one becomes completely deficient in every category of nutrition due to an obsessive compulsive disorder. This type of veganism usually results in the person becoming a complete recluse who wants to live alone and not contribute to society but finds this extremely hard to do because of the modern society. Usually an individual practicing Daniel-Veganism despises corporate business and can be extremely hypocritical.

Veganism 

Veganism is the belief that one should not eat any animal products. Many vegans are so because of dietary reasons, although not as many people are vegans for health reasons as there are health vegetarians. A large principle for most vegans is a respect for all life on Earth, not just human life. With the current treatment of animals and humans on big company farms, many vegans believe that it is irresponsible to support that. Even on small "mom and pop" farms who try to be kind to their animals, the simple fact remains that in order to make any kind of profit the animals must be exploited. Previous health concerns have mostly been negated, such as the lack of vitamin B12 in vegan diets. Vitimin B12 comes from a bacteria found on both plants and dead animals, but is generally washed away on plants. So, consuming a B12 supplement does not necessitate eating animal products. Veganism has been criticized for a multitude of reasons, but generally if someone has a problem with them it is either out of fear of change or because of a lack of understanding.
After learning more about Pacifism, Gary decided that he could not in good conscience use animal products, he had to become Vegan and that's how he got started on Veganism.
