V – gun is how it’s pronounced. Some refer to it as a strict vegetarian. Vegans do not consume anything that is animal derived (including milk, eggs and honey). We also try to avoid using products or wearing clothes that are animal derived (including leather, silk and wool). Also, we try to support companies who do not engage in testing their products on animals.
Some feel that being a Vegan is difficult, but it really isn’t. True you’ll have to learn what ingredients are made from animals and become a label reader, but once you begin to learn which items are safe, it is quite easy. And if you’re not lucky enough to have a Vegan store in your area, there are plenty of places online you can order from.
