What does Vegan mean?

Question

I know vegetarian means you can't eat meat but what does vegan mean?

Answer 1

vegan means only vegetarian food

Answer 2

Vegans don't eat, use, wear or otherwise consume anything of animal origin whatsoever.  We don't eat meat, slaughter byproducts, dairy, eggs, or honey and we don't wear leather, suede, wool, silk, fur, down, feathers or pearls.  We source cosmetics, toiletries, household cleaners and other products made without animal bits to as great an extent as possible.  We don't support industries that exploit animals for entertainment, such as circuses or rodeos.

(Shelby, cotton is a plant, it's wool that comes from sheep.)

Answer 5

Answer 6

Vegan means eating no animal or animal product.

Answer 7

Vegan means if it took an animal to get the food, then they won't eat it.  They don't eat milk, eggs, cheese, those sorts of things.  

Im sure they probably don't wear cotton from sheep either, because of what the animals have to go thru at the farms to get the cotton.

EDIT:  LOL, I wasn't thinking when I said cotton, I definately meant wool....geeze, i feel stupid now.  Thanks for pointing that out Mockingbird.
