List Of Vegans
Veganism increased significantly in popularity in the 2000s, in part for reasons of human health, and in part out of concern for animals or the environment.
Vegans can be split broadly into three groups. Dietary vegans exclude animal products from their diets, often for health reasons, but may continue to wear clothes or use toiletries that contain them. Ethical vegans are concerned with animal rights, rejecting the commodification of animals entirely, and refusing to eat or use them in any way. Environmental vegans argue that a wholly plant-based diet is the only environmentally sustainable way to feed the expanding human species; Paul Watson, president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, writes that the society's ships are vegan because its crews are marine conservationists, not because they are animal rights advocates.
The following is a list of notable people reported to have adhered to a vegan diet at some point in their life, whether for health reasons or any other.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
