Is That a Promise?

Yet another new term: "vegansexual." From the August 2, 2007 New Zealand Press:
A new phenomenon in New Zealand is taking the idea of you are what you eat to the extreme.

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.

The co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies at Canterbury University, Annie Potts, said she coined the term after doing research on the lives of "cruelty-free consumers".
If you click over to that link, you can see a (work-safe) picture of Nichola Kriek. I don't think she has to worry about "carnivores" wanting to have sex with her, unless perhaps they have been driven blind by too much meat.
