“Going to the website, one can find that certain types of cleaners are 100% vegan… Does this mean that they can be ingested? I don’t think so…”

Well, no, but I think it’s widely recognized that ‘vegan’ is not just a dietary term, but refers to an animal-product-free and animal-testing-free lifestyle. Regardless, it’s unfortunate that these claims are being made without ‘proof’, and yet, a system requiring ‘proof’ might be prohibitively costly.

Of course, “vegan” is associated with general “goodness”, but you don’t have to be fair trade or organic in order to be vegan.

that’s really disappointing because there ARE definite, concrete standards to determine whether or not something’s vegan, and the idea that a product can be labelled “100% vegan” and not be without repercussions because apparently there are no facts associated with the term = FAIL.

(organic, natural, free trade, and so on)

gwen, I think that should be fair trade or free range instead of free trade.
