I thought that vegan meant
No animal products which means:
No meat
No eggs
No dairy
No fish
(No s****s, salamanders, frogs, etc. either)
We had a "local foods" brunch as a fund raiser and tried to use organic as
well as local. Helped out by local producers of organic raw milk, organic
****k (what's brunch w/o bacon and sausage?), cheese, yogurt, and eggs. We
had foods labeled if they were known to be vegetarian and others (far
fewer) labeled vegan. One of the members of the organization wanted us to
show her "one of the vegans" because she wanted to know what "they" looked
like.
As far as I can tell, vegans are allowed to eat
Potato chips (as long as they're fried in vegetable oil)
Guacamole
Tofu

It takes 15 million barrels of oil per year to make
all of the plastic water bottles in America. 8 out
of 10 water bottles end up in the landfill.
