About
| What is a vegan? |
| A vegan is a person who avoids as far as possible the use of any materials produced by cruelty to animals or people for nourishment or for any other purpose. A vegan product is one that is cruelty free, which in practice generally means it should be free of all animal ingredients. The word vegan, derived from VEGetariAN in 1944, when Elsie Shrigley and Donald Watson created the Vegan Society, is commonly pronounced vee-gun by its adherents. Vegan is also as an adjective to describe people, diets, and food. This is a Wikipedia definition. |
| Who Can Join? |
| Vegans and those who want help trying/starting to be vegan. We also allow those who just want to learn about veganism, even if they have no intention of becoming vegan. The above people are more than welcome so long as they are respectful of community members and the concept of veganism. If disrespect (ie. namecalling or accusations) is witnessed, the party will be warned to cease the behaviour and removed if s/he does not comply. This includes those who profess to be vegan. Other than that, welcome! |
| What do we not want to see here? |
| spam, solicitations and non-related community promotions. for related community promotions, please utilize ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1){kind=small} vegpromo.We also do not want to see excessive rudeness, links to personal journals, and comment deletion. Enjoy your stay. |
