How can you be 'hardcore' vegetarian or vegan?

Question

I'm wondering because someone called me that and well...how exactly can you be 'hardcore'?

Answer 1

Join PETA, they seem to be rather hardcore.

Answer 2

Usually if you stick with it for a long period of time you are considered hardcore. Most people fall of the wagon and go back to meat eating eventually. I mean, you're vegan or you're not, you know? And those different kinds of vegetarian aren't REALLY vegetarian anyway.

Answer 3

"hardcore" is just a nonsense word used when people are too lazy to think of using correct English

Answer 4

Anyone that can't imagine giving up meat could refer to you as "hardcore".

It's completely subjective

Answer 5

You eat nothing that was even remotely related to animals--no milk products including ice cream, etc...

Answer 6

Well some vegetarians eat fish, eggs, drink milk, etc. a vegan is a hardcore vegetarian that won't eat ANY animal product at all.
