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.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
