Accoding to About.com, Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines. Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool.
Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating, or to the diet itself.
What do vegans eat?
This is perhaps the most common question about veganism. A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits and the nearly infinite number of foods made by combining them. Many vegan versions of familiar foods are available, so you can eat vegan hot dogs, ice cream, cheese and vegan mayonnaise.
With all this said, I have a funny to tell...
Anyone that knows my daughter and son in law know that they are practicing Vegans. Recently they were asked a favor and they happily complied. As a result, the person they did the favor for was so very grateful that in return she gifted them a turkey. End of story.
I may be getting a turkey. Keep the gifts coming!
Happy trails & en-trails!
I love it, so creative!

ReplyDeleteHaha! It's funny 'cause it's true! And it's still sitting in my fridge, as abandoned and as unloved as it was in it's pitiful factory-farmed existence. I'll get it over to you guys whenever the Florida rain decides to let me out of my house. ;)

DeleteDear Vegan Daughter,
