I have a question about what is and isn't okay as a vegan?!
I am a very strict vegan, but yesterday I was cooking dinner, and my five year old said to me, "Mommy, I thought you said that people who eat animals are worse than nazis!. Why are we eating fish!? They have a face!. If it has a face, it's an animal, isn't it!?"
What do you think!? I thought that I could eat chicken and fish, but I have to admit that my five year old has a pretty good point!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegan:
"The word "veganism" denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment!. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals!."
If you eat chicken and fish, you aren't vegan!. You aren't even vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"and my five year old said to me"
Then why does your profile say that you have two kids, ages 10 and 13!?
"I am a very strict vegan!."
No, you are not!. Not even close!.

IF you are eating fish and chicken, you're not a vegan!. Go to wikipedia!.com, dictionary!.com, or anything else!. You would be a pollo-pesco-vegetarian!. Simply meaning you avoid red meat!. REAL vegans don't eat anything in any way associated with an animal!. No dairy, no eggs, no gelatin, no honey, and obviously no flesh weather it comes from fish, poultry, or livestock!. We won't wear leather, silk, or wool, and we won't use anything that has animal products in it, or is tested on animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Uhhh!.!.!. this is very strange!. It sounds trollish, but I'll assume you're legit!.
First off, no matter if you're a vegan or if you follow a strict bacon-only diet, teaching your daughter that others are 'worse than nazis,' isn't particularly good parenting!. (Though how she knows about nazis is another question!.!.!.)
Second, veganism isn't a word that means 'no red meat!.' It means no animal products at all!. There are some great books you can read if you really want to go vegan - Veganomicon, a great recipe book; any of John Robbins' books or articles; Skinny B****!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Goodness, what a lot of R&S regulars just happen to be on V&V today to answer your 'question'!
You might have thought twice about trolling this forum (you might not of course, I may be overestimating you) if you knew the type of trolling that has been going on for the past few days - you may very well not want to be associated with it!. And it's likely many people will assume you're from the same group, who have been posting obscene items and bullying - through questions, cloned accounts and nasty emails - the individual regulars they perceive as the most vulnerable!.
I suggest you call it a day, and leave us aloneWww@FoodAQ@Com

vegetarian = no animal flesh, that includes chicken & fish!.
Vegan = no animal sourced ingredients period, including dairy, eggs, honey!. No wearing leather, wool, silk!.
You are not even vegetarian if you are eating animals still!.
also do not teach your little 5 year old hatred so early, esp!. comparing Nazis to people that eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wow!.!.!.I wouldn't tell my five year-old that people who eat meat are worse than Nazis!. That's just bad parenting!. If anyone's to be accused of "Nazi-esque" behavior, it's the factory farms, not the consumer!.

This actually reminds me of my experiences in Spain!. When someone asked for a vegetarian meal, they brought chicken!. Apparently, chicken isn't considered a real animal!.
