the word Vegan was made up by business people ( very good ones ) to implement the idea of saving the animals by pointing the cruelty and therefor using guilt rather than consciousness in people 's mind ...i believe that any changes must come from a personal view and no one can force anyone to change in any ways ... that is why the war is real , not because vegans are wrong in the core of the idea of saving animals but because of the way they spit the messages ... i realised that not long time ago , because i was calling myself vegan and i felt i was fighting the wrong war ... i am a vegetalien , for all the reasons vegans are vegans but in a conscious personal way ...but yet ...who can blame PETA to make 70 millions $ a year for their "vegan" business ..
Does that mean you made up the word? Or did someone else also pushing back against PETA? Also... you used the "vegan" tag. Does that make you feel like a corporate shill? :P (I'm kidding!)
vegan is actually a new word ... from the business people indeed ...vegetalien is the real word and been around for longer than we know , also we used to say vegetarien for vegetalien and splitted both for less confusion ..yeah i did used this tag , that is a word more used today but you are right , i shouldnt have ... i aint a shill though ;b and i hope you ll try the Shepherd's , you ll love it <3
ahahah vegetalien means no animal products vs vegetarien which includes dairy and eggs ..
and yeah a little alien spice :b
How is it distinct from vegan? (and/or why not call it "vegan"?)

Trying to find the origin of the word 'vegetalien' online. It looks like it's the French word for that, but I can't find any English results.
i checked , in french it is with a E and in english it is with a A ..many words are like that actually :D
we switch E to A ; )
Oh my! Looks like there's controversy in France about the word! http://veganrevolution.free.fr/documents/itwfrancione.html
and thank you for pointing that out : )
