    Then I can call myself an Intermittent Dietary Vegan. During my
meals I will take a bite of animal flesh, and then a bite of something
like rice or potatoe, often followed by a bite of some cellulose based
vegetable like broccoli, then a bite of animal flesh, then back to the
vegan ****tions...inermittently alternating between veganism and
carnivorism several times during the course of each meal. Or do you
think it would be better to just say that I'm a vegan who consumes 
and wears animal based products?

    Why do YOU want to promote the dishonest idea that some 
supposed vegans don't care about animals, do you know?
