She eats a vegetan diet, but does not necessarily embrace vegan philosophy.
Vegetan simply refers to what you eat, and does not signify any "whys" which may motivate someone to eat that way.
Some vegans resent another person calling himself "vegan" when he eats a "vegan diet" but does not embrace all the values, philosophies and precepts of veganism, while at the same time "vegetan" is a useful word for people who don't want to wear a label - they just want to eat a certain way and not have their diet define how they describe themselves.

Get the vegetan mug.Vegetanism describes a dietary pattern that is fully vegetarian while strongly aligning with vegan principles
• Vegetans avoid 100% of meat and fish
• They go a step further by trying to reduce overall consumption of animal products as much as possible
• Whenever a practical vegan alternative exists, they consciously choose the vegan option
• Unlike pure vegetarianism, vegetanism is not only about avoiding meat
• It includes a clear orientation toward vegan ideology, especially regarding:
• animal welfare
• sustainability
• conscious and responsible consumption
• Animal products such as milk, cheese, or eggs are not strictly forbidden
• They are only used when:
• no equivalent or suitable vegan alternative is available
• or the person has not yet fully transitioned
• The term represents a middle position between vegetarianism and veganism
• It is often used by people who:
• do not identify as fully vegan
• but already structure their lifestyle strongly around vegan values
• Vegetanism can be:
• a deliberate transition phase toward a fully vegan lifestyle
• or a long-term, honest approach
• At its core, it is about:
• reducing one’s animal-related footprint as much as possible
• without the pressure of perfection

Get the Vegetal mug.When the desire to surpass your rival (friend or enemy) motivates you to accomplish the seemingly impossible task/goal you are competing to achieve.
In reference to Dragon Ball charactars;
The painstaking task/goal is generally achieved first by the rival (Goku), which causes you (Vegeta) to accomplish the task/goal out of desire to surpass your rival.
Goku and Vegeta Backstory--
Goku was the first to achieve Super Saiyin (SSJ), leaving Vegeta extremely jealous of his next level power. It was an incredibly difficult task to go SSJ but the burning desire inside Vegeta to surpass Goku allowed him become SSJ without suffering the same strife that Goku had to endure (the death of a close friend named Krillin).

Get the Vegeta Effect mug.Quite possibly the most badass fucking character ever known. Vegeta/Bejita thrives in situations where any man wishes to set foot in, and comes out a TOTAL FUCKING BADASS every time. It's known that even Tyler Durden, the MacManus brothers, Triple HHH, Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, John Rambo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Adolf Hitler worshiped Vegeta, and wished to be half as badass as the Prince of All Saiyans.
Thanks to Vegeta, there is a such thing as "beyond badass."
