			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was amusing to see the vegansexual debate raging in New Zealand in few weeks ago. It all started with Annie Potts, co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies at Canterbury University, doing research on the lives of &#8220;cruelty-free consumers.&#8221; Then the Press published an article called &#8216;<a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/AAMB4/aamsz=300x44_MULTILINK/4147483a6009.html" title="Carnivore Sex Off the Menu">Carnivore Sex Off the Menu</a>&#8216; featuring vegans Nichola and Hans Kriek, which led to a <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/4148907a4621.html" title="Stuff Feedback">large amount of feedback</a> in New Zealand and offshore.</p>
<p>Myself, I&#8217;m not a vegansexual, though I take my hat off to them for following their values. I&#8217;m a vegetarian who goes for a bit of cheese on my pizza, so I&#8217;m the more laid back vegosexual variety.</p>
<p>Personally, I think the vegan no-sex-with-meateaters thing is a bit of a rare case. For starters, there are a lot more <a href="http://www.nzs.com/new-zealand-articles/lifestyle/vegetarian-diet.html">vegetarians</a> than there are vegans. Second, I know of a lot of vegetarians that would happily get with meateaters for a fling, but when there&#8217;s steak and kidney in the fridge, it&#8217;s the long term relationships that vegetarians can find difficult to sustain. Vegetarians with a soft spot for a meateater are left with three choices &#8211; deal with it, move on&#8230; or convert them!</p>
