Some words are open to interpretation, or clarification. "Vegan" is not such a word.

For example: I have blond hair. My hair is ivory-blond with no red in it. NO ONE is ever going to describe my hair as red or brown! However, many shades of blond border on brown or red..And so, one person will describe someone's hair as "blond," someone else will describe that same person's hair as "red," and someone else will call it "strawberry-blond." And none of those three people will be inaccurate in their description.

For example: I am 5' 3 1/2" and 111 pounds. You know how on social media sites, you're offered the option of calling yourself either "Slim/slender" or "Average?" I lean toward selecting the "Slim/slender" option, but not without hesitation. Either option could conceivably describe me, because those are relative terms.

For example: I consume a vegan diet. A "vegan" diet is free of ALL animal substances. Honey contains flower nectar. AND bee enzymes. I do not consume honey.

Apparently, "I eat vegan, but I eat honey" is the new "I am a vegetarian, but I eat fish." "Vegan," by definition, means ZERO animal ingredients. There are no degrees of "vegan." There are "lacto-", "lacto-ovo," and "ovo-" vegetarians. And. vegetarians who eat honey.

Vegans who eat honey? No such thing!
