Or will I be detested by vegetarians, vegans and carnivores?

IME many vegans can take a bit of an all or nothing stance, but I do think I would miss avocado and egg on toast. What do people think?

Do what makes you happy-life us too short to worry about what other people think.

What the hell is a veggan, just a veggie who doesn't eat dairy?

Eat what you want, but adopting silly words is... silly.

PurpleDaisies · 15/12/2017 21:07

What a “veggan”? Is it a typo or a new thing?

Janetjanetjanet · 15/12/2017 21:07

Veggan?

what the what the feck?

Ofthread · 15/12/2017 21:08

You will be detested by all who hold the English language dear.

Reallytired17 · 15/12/2017 21:08

A veggan follows the principles of a vegan diet but eats eggs. Hence v’egg’an. Don’t bite my head off because you didn’t know what it meant Wink

The English language is constantly changing, which I don’t need to tell you. New words are constantly coming into common lexis just as old ones fall out of use.

What is a veggan?

IMO Just eat what you want, why need to label everything?

Sugarnut · 15/12/2017 21:09

I’ve never heard of a veggan?

(Apologies if that was as just a typo, not trying to be wanky)

Reallytired17 · 15/12/2017 21:09

I’ve seen it used a fair bit.

OP posts:
StickThatInYourPipe · 15/12/2017 21:09

Sorry cross post

My point however still stands

PurpleDaisies · 15/12/2017 21:10

So you’d be a non-dairy eating vegetarian? No need for the daft term that you’ll have to explain every time you use it.

Bambamber · 15/12/2017 21:10

Just eat what you want. Most people genuinely don't care what you eat

SandAndSea · 15/12/2017 21:11

Lots of 'vegans' just do what they can (within a strict veggie concept) and don't sweat the small stuff. It's impossible to be 100% vegan in our culture anyway.

Do what works for you.

Reallytired17 · 15/12/2017 21:11

Not quite purple because there are animal products that are not meat but nor are they dairy - honey, for example.

The only exception is eggs.

SandAndSea · 15/12/2017 21:11

PS you can get eggs from rescue hens which some people consider vegan.

Rhynswynd · 15/12/2017 21:11

If you will still be eating eggs, make sure they are reliably sourced and the best quality possible. Otherwise it would be a waste of time and effort for a shitty caged Bird egg.

Fatso1978 · 15/12/2017 21:12

Yeah. Another one here who has never heard of veggan before. What a stupid word anyway. Jesus, no one cares

StickThatInYourPipe · 15/12/2017 21:13

I’m sure there’s more cruelty in egg production than honey tbh. What’s the point?

Killdora · 15/12/2017 21:13

Oooooh I see Grin

My elderly Dad get really quite grumpy with dsis saying she’s a ‘Flexitarian’.

In fact he specifically says, ‘It was called ‘eating what the feck you want’ in my day.’

Eat what you want op, pretty sure my ex bil is now a vegan, but he does eat eggs as he says they come from his own chickens so he knows they are happy (and something to do with he doesn’t take all the eggs and leaves some in I dunno)

twiney · 15/12/2017 21:13

So if you're going to eat eggs, why not eat honey too?

MrsSquiggler · 15/12/2017 21:13

Find some rescue chickens to source your eggs from. Or adopt some. Feel good about your happy egg consumption

From a fellow 'veggan'. But please don't call it that!

How about everyone just eats what they want, doesn't call it anything special, but also doesn't judge anyone else's eating choices?

Janetjanetjanet · 15/12/2017 21:14

It's an egg eating vegan.

teaandtoast · 15/12/2017 21:15

You mean an ovo vegetarian? Why not, 'tis not a new thing.
