They say you are what you eat, and growing numbers of vegans are shunning sex with meat-eaters because they see them as "a graveyard for animals", a New Zealand researcher says.
These vegans not only refuse to eat meat or animal products but refuse to have sexual contact with meat-eaters because their bodies are made up of dead animals, the researcher was reported saying in The Press newspaper on Tuesday.
Annie Potts, co-director of the New Zealand Centre of Human and Animal Studies at New Zealand's Canterbury University, said she coined the term vegansexuals during her research.
She discovered the vegansexuals while interviewing 157 vegetarians and ethical consumers for a study.
"It's a whole new thing -- I have not come across it before," said Potts.
One vegan said while she found non-vegans attractive, but would not want to be physically close to them.
"I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance," she said.
Oh, yeah. I think that's an old Cheyenne Indian word for "Brave who is a bad hunter".
i don’t wanna be what i eat.. i usually eat my steaks “bloody as heck”
Poor Joe, replaced by a vegetable. snort
Milk and fish will get you pregnant?????
Since they are vegans, then I guess he does not like tuna and she does not like bologna......
If I'm not mistaken, and I only took a few years of biology in high school and college, WE ARE ANIMALS!!!!
Ode to Vegans
Grab a spade, dig a hole,
And bury yourself to you knees.
I'll check on you in a week or two,
To see if you've sprouted roots and leaves.

I’m glad someone else said it.
I was talked into trying a vegetarian (mostly vegan)diet for a couple of weeks a few years ago. Completely killed my libido.
I had a somewhat different take on the headline. Carnivores like lions and tigers and dogs? Oh my!
(Can I say that here?)
“Milk and fish will get you pregnant?????”
Yes. Who knew?
and kill them for food./s
I’m pretty sure beer has something to do with it, too.
My feelings are sooo hurt
I am never that suspicious of vegan women, they are either dieting or fruitcakes.
But vegan men sort of creep me out. I see a man eating a green salad and I think he is just not manly. There is something weird about them.
