Definition of vegan - massive response!
Thank you for all your answers!. I got a massive response to my question but I cannot reply to everybody!. In my case its quite a complex issue!.
1!. I grew up where breeding animals for milk, consumption, work was an absolute necessity not luxury or exploitation but I have learnt a lot a views about animals in certain parts of the world - mass production for commercial reasons and can understand how people feel
2!. I can also absolutely not eat anything with any animal content even gravy mixes not by choice but because, as I am beginning to realise, of a seemingly rare condition at the moment where my body is rejecting everything!.from animals and their by-products I don't think I fall into any of the categories i!.e!. vegetarian or vegan!. I am just an ill person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
