It's an abbreviated way of referring to both vegetarians and vegans!.

VEG--etaria--N
VEG--a--------NWww@FoodAQ@Com

I believe it's shorthand for vegetarian and vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

veg(etari)an

(etari) = *

it's just shorter than say vegetarian and veganWww@FoodAQ@Com

Veg*an or veg*n is shorthand for "vegetarian or vegan"!. The "*" is a wild card operator that can stand for any number of letters or no letters!. Writing veg*an saves keystrokes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The * is a wild character that subs for the "a" in vegan or the "etaria" in vegetarian!. It's a shorthand used when referring to vegetarians and/or vegans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's shorthand for 'vegetarian and/or vegan'; so when a question is addressed to veg*ns, the asker wants answers from both vegans and vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
