Definition of 'Vegan'

Okay, so I realized that there may be some of you who stumble across this site not having any idea what a vegan is! So I found this good definition from the Australian magazine so tastefully titled 'Vegan Voice' -- no, there is no affiliation. So anyway, here's the definition they provide:

Vegan [vee-gn]: Veganism denotes a philosophy and way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, nonhuman 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, nonhumans and the environment. Vegans avoid all animal produce: meat (including chicken and fish), eggs, animal milks, honey, and their derivatives.
