A new breed of vegans has sprouted: Those who will only have sexual intercourse with others as pure as themselves:

Vegansexuals are people who do not eat any meat or animal products, and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals.

Interesting. As if Vegans don’t occupy a strange enough corner of the world. Here come Vegansexuals:

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: “I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually.”

As an aside, this woman does not look especially feminine. While the man looks, well, soft. Perhaps a little protein would put the hormones aright. Also, do either of these people look vibrant and healthy?

    I have yet to meet a vegan (except very young ones) who seem healthy and vital.

    So if non-vegan bodies are made out of dead animals then saying these two are nuts isn’t a put down right? :)
