VEGAN HISTORY...
*In 1944, in the UK, Donald Watson took the first and last letters of the word "vegetarian," and created the word "vegan" to indicate being vegetarian from beginning to end - (not only not eating any animals, but also not eating any products that come from animals, and also not using any products that come from animals - true Ahimsa, "dynamic harmlessness"). Certainly there were those who had such beliefs and lived by such committed values long before 1944, but, up until that time, there was not a single word with such meaning. Watson entered the word into the lexicon and also registered the first Vegan Society, in Britain, on November 1, 1944. Thus, World Vegan Day, a special annual holiday celebrating vegan living, is celebrated on November 1st each year with festivals around this country and all around the world.
