About AZVegan
What is AZVegan?
AZVegan is a web site designed with the hopes of providing a comprehensive listing of animal rights/vegetarian/vegan events and information for
people in Arizona. By providing one site for all local events AZVegan hopes to unite
individuals and groups with shared interests.
What is a vegan?
A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone
who does not eat or use animal products or animal by-products; a strict
vegetarian who does not eat eggs, or dairy products. The term vegan was coined
in London in 1944 by Donald Watson, a founding member of the The Vegan Society
in Great Britain. He used the first three and last two letters of the word
vegetarian to form the word vegan, because "veganism starts with
vegetarianism and carries it through to its logical conclusion." Please take a moment to read the essay,
"On Being Vegan" from Vegan Outreach.
What is veg*n?

categories.
