I've been eating vegan for years now and still enjoy long drives in my car and so on.
What am I lol?

I didn't mean to spark a conversation. It's my choice.

Producing fabric also uses oil so should all vegans run around naked? I don't get it.

look at all the wankers calling you a hypocrit... not comending you on what your doing for the enviroment etc..
"you don't eat any animal products and save hundreds of liters of water a year, thousands maybe... your carbon emissions are LOW! but you wear leather shoes so f*k you, your a bad person!!!"
I don't get it... i say well done for coming this far, caring this much and doing all this... If you can justify the shoes do it by all means..
i'm having a hard time finding non leather shoes that don't fall apart inside a week. At the moment i've had to start wearing an old leather pair from before my change, so i JUST get away with it...
Think if you really want to label your self acuratly it's strict vegetarian... but i'd just call my self a vegan if i were you, less confusing when explaining to others...
It's a personal thing, your making a personal choice, peopel should wind their necks in... your only a hypocrit if you're telling people that wearing leather is wrong and your wearing leather....

There isn't one. In French there is a distinction: a "végétalien" is someone, who like you, doesn't eat anything animal (including milk, eggs and honey), and a "vegan" doesn't use anything at all that used to belong to an animal; so no food with a face, no dairy, eggs,... but also no leather, silk,... no tested products,... I'm one of those.
But seriously, why do you still wear leather when you obviously care about animals? Don't take it the wrong way, it just doesn't seem logical.
Go vegan!

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying "I only eat vegan food", as long as you don't say "I am a vegan" (because BEING vegan includes the whole lifestyle). That's the big difference. If you need a label, you could say you are a strict vegetarian. (As opposed to ovo- or lacto-)

You are a vegetarian.
If you ate eggs or dairy, you would be a lacto-ovo-vegetarian.
If you don't, you are just plain old vegetarian.
"Vegetarian" is supposed to imply a "vegan diet" but people started eating eggs and dairy and calling themselves vegetarian. Now, people like to eat fish and chicken and call themselves that, which is lying. That's why Donald Watson came up with the word "vegan".

I am in the same situation. I say I eat a vegan diet but don't follow a vegan lifestyle. I make this choice for health reasons only and don't consider myself a hypocrite.

You are not a vegan. You are a vegetarian eater. By saying you are a vegan, you are being hypocrytical. By saying you dont eat meat, you are being honest. But do not say you are a vegan

Sorry to answer with a question, but - why?
I mean, if you've already made a decision not to use animals for food, then why wear them?
Do you know the facts about the leather industry?
