Vegan
Being vegan means not eating or using any animal derived products. This usually includes diary and eggs, though can also mean things like honey, white sugar (thanks to a quirk in the refining process), gelatin, etc.
It can be difficult to live a healthy vegan lifestyle at Knox while still eating at the Knox cafeteria. Tofu is rare, though available, and veggies that aren't cooked to death are more or less non-existent. Unless you're eating salad for every meal, and then you've got other problems. For the most part, veganism at Knox means that any soup, grilled food, dessert, or main course dish is totally off limits. Though, the vegan dumplings are good.
