#N:hp-dcde:40400005:000:441 hp-dcde!jack Jan 10 00:13:00 1984 Instead of the cumbersome phrase "total vegetarian", may I suggest the already existing word "vegan". Websters New Collegiate Dictionary (1974): veg-an \`vej-<schwa>n, -an\ n [by contr. fr. vegetarian]: an extreme vegetarian; one that consumes no animal food or dairy products -- veg-an-ism \`vej-<schwa>-niz-<schwa>m\ n A vegan practices "veganism". -Jack Applin (hplabs!hp-dcd!jack) P.S.: A vegan is not from Vega!
