Sao Paulo, 22 September 2004.

Dear fellow vegetarians,

I want to tell you about a proposal for a correct use of the term or VEGAN VEGAN.

It is common to use the term VEGAN in our day-to-day and in our texts, sem in DARM anglicism realize that we pay. I propose that we start to use the term or VEGAN VEGAN.

Faz soon, whenever a journalist or researcher in any area asked me to define the types of vegetarianism, I Dizier egg-lactams, Lacto e VEGAN, making the caveat that the term VEGAN would be more correct, though not widely used. Quem read my texts or interviews will always utilizei the term vegan, precisely because this is the term that people use most.

However, unintentionally inciting Anglophobia, I think it is time for a change in the terminology we use. VEGANO ou Vegas, that is how it is used in Portugal, na Argentina, in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries. It will be much easier the term VEGAN appear in a dictionary of the Portuguese language in the future than the term VEGAN. So we need to practice it.

I'll change my presentations to use the terms “vegan diet, person vegan, individual vegan, roast Vegano” and I will do the same in my future texts. In my interviews I have supervised the journalists to use the term VEGAN, for thinking that this is the most correct. The TAPS has published their new books using the terminology VEGAN, VEGANA.

Therefore, My proposal is made and would like to know your thoughts on it.

Graciously,

Dr. George Guimarães
