What does VEGAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who avoids eating meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and any other animal-derived food, and who often also avoids animal-derived materials such as leather or wool.
A vegan diet goes further than vegetarianism, which may still permit dairy or eggs, by excluding every animal-derived food and, for many people, animal products used in clothing or household goods as well. People choose the lifestyle for reasons ranging from animal welfare to environmental concerns to personal health. The word was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson, who formed it from the first three and last two letters of vegetarian. Vegan now also works as an adjective describing food, clothing, or products made without animal ingredients.
