This was from an interesting thread where I asked this question: 'If you had to describe your variety of veganism or your take on veganism, in 2 words - what would they be?' Two hundred vegans/vegan activists responded with their two words. And here they are - in order:

I am aligned with the precepts of the abolitionist movement, (though I was vegan before it began). I just call myself VEGAN usually, however my two words were Vegan Truth - I see it as nothing short of a Great Truth. I really like many of the answers and with the exception of raw or fruity vegan, they were all true for me, too.

For Them....
