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.

A vegan is simply a practicing human herbivore.

All humans are herbivore by design.

That is an indisputable fact. (note: refer to Dr. Mills' "Comparative Anatomy of Eating" for a detailed analysis in chart format.)

Diet is the principle mode of earthly interaction and exchange. It is an essential feature of ecology that creatures function within certain behavioral 'niches' including dietary.

This is what enables nature's cooperative and supportive mechanisms to function and thus continuously renew and support all life. To not understand what we humans are designed to eat is so basic a misunderstanding that it has engendered many other destructive and self defeating behavioral forms including war and elitism.

This practical misunderstanding of our true herbivore natures also continues to bar our ability to commune as other animals do; openly, wholeheartedly and with a natural purity of spirit.
Vegans do not consume animal products or engage in behaviors that violate other animals' rights to life, habitat and nature determined experiences.

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.
