Vegan! It is not a bad word. I have a few friends that are vegan. What does that actually mean? In a nutshell, a vegan is a person who does not consume any animal products at all. That means they do not eat or drink animal products and they also do not support articles of clothing or other products made from animals. I am not a vegan, and as I don’t cast aspersions on my friends that are, they don’t on me.
