umm... you're a little bit confused about the term Vegan. First of all, a vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat. A vegan is someone who, in addition to not eating meat, does not eat dairy products or eggs either. Also, Vegan does not rhyme with Megan. It is pronounced vee-gan. Just wanted to alert you to your error. But, Vegan or Vegetarian, regardless, they both suck. I mean, why would a person not eat meat. I will pursue and harass them with all my energy.

Just how, exactly, do you pronounce
Megan? Do you assume it is universal? LOL!

You say veegan, I say vegan.

There are many gradations of vegetarians. A vegetarian won't eat meat. A vegan will tell ME that I should not eat meat.

Three varieties that I know of, are the fruitarian who will only eat fruits, the vegetarian, who will not eat meat, including eggs and milk, and the ovo-lacto vegetarian who will not eat meat, but will eat milk and eggs.

There are many other self-imposed dietary restrictions as well. (Such as not eating red meat, or even eating Kosher.)

I guess the feeling of superiority they derive from being vegetarians or vegans is more satisfying than the smell, taste and sense of well-being from eating a juicy steak. To each his own. I just wish they'd leave the rest of us alone.
