How many people were hardcore vegans and decided to relax a bit?!
Answers: to become a flex vegan/veg?
Not enough...people would rather hold onto their beliefs and ideals than realize what's actually good for them.
*Edit* That goes for both sides, not just vegan but uber meat-eaters as well. Way to use your thumb-downs, guys. =)
I assume some people who go vegan for health may someday relax a bit. But those of us who are vegan for moral reasons don't back down easily.
I'm a vegan and I'm pretty relaxed, but then i have peace of mind that I am not contributing to the cruelty and suffering of animals.
Depends on your real reason for being a vegan in the first place!
To Kyle & Fluffycat: Thumbs up to you guys!
Anyhoo there is no such thing as a ''flex vegan''. It is a nonsense word.
For example, you cannot have a ''heterosexual gay man''. It does not make logical sense :o)
Can you have a hetero lesbian man? Yes, so relax a little.
Being a healthy vegan is very good for me, - so why would I change that. I am also very relaxed. -
Hey Damiana, having beliefs and being a healthy vegan are not exclusive. - they are actually more compatible and peaceful than eating a dead animal!
my family fluxuates between being more vegan and less vegan right now I think we are less vegan, meaning we have some dairy products,
Ey up, CS; new account mate? What happened to the old one?
None, as there is no such thing as a flex vegan/veg. Some may have changed to become flexitarians or fully fledged meat-eaters, though I've never met one. I know someone who was vegan for years - one of the first vegans I ever met - who changed and became vegetarian, ie he began to include dairy products and eggs in his diet.
not me
but i read this n i wanna comment on it

For every vegan/vegetarian I meet - I eat 3 times as much meat - out of spite - so they are killing extra animals for being a vegan.

well octocat, im sure with all that meat eating, ur doing ur body a lot of damage coz we all know eating meat is bad for u, but if ur gona eat 3 times as much... well!! ur gona die at an early age, maybe u will get heart disease or somethin, but the veggies will live way longer... so really by doing what ur doing now, ur saving animals in the future coz u will die early. well done mate
I'm not sure what you mean by "hardcore." I strive to live as cruelty-free as is feasable, if that's what you mean.
I don't ever see myself "relaxing" my veganism. I won't ever eat dairy or eggs again purely for the gross-out factor, and I don't think I could eat meat again if I wanted to... non-vegan foods/products/clothing just sicken me.

None did, CS.
Considering there's no such thing as a "flex vegan", nobody did. I'm sure some folks became vegetarians only and gave up the vegan lifestyle while retaining the diet.
Nice new avatar on your new account, CS.
