Christianity is a way of life, a faith, and a religion
Vegan is eating an animal product free diet.
They're not the same. People will criticize both the same, just stand up for what you believe in.
I'm both, and this is my theory-- A Christian is who I am, and vegan is how I eat.
Don't let anyone let you feel like you're being untrue to your faith. A particular diet can't take away your spirit.

Well, the following passage doesn't seem to indicate that Paul was too crazy about forcing people to go vegan:
1Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

I'm both a Christian and a vegan. Neither relate to the other.

The Bible supports the eating of meat and it calls people who are vegan - weak.
Rom 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
However, it also says -
Rom 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

According to the canons of the Church ratified in the 4th century, you should at least eat veggies cooked with meat at Church dinners. That is the minimum requirement. Otherwise, the Church has always condoned veganism, and even encouraged it.

Dan 1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which [are] of your sort? then shall ye make [me] endanger my head to the king.
Dan 1:11 ¶ Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Dan 1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse ( a vegetable medley) to eat, and water to drink.
Dan 1:13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Dan 1:14 ¶ So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
Dan 1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
Nowhere is meat condemned, but this story is a nice shot in the arm for those who would be vegan for a spiritual cause.

I don't see why not. It's a rare combination, but generally, vegan Christians are awesome Christians.

It is a personal choice. Just as long as that choice is not crammed down the throats of those who chose the opposite.

Well it certainly isn't wrong.
In the garden of Eden they were vegan.
Eating meat and using animal products didn't happen until the fall of man kind and sin entered into the world.
