The identity thief judging others.

What's worse Roger having sex with "with meat-eaters because their
bodies were made up of animal carcasses" or sex with those who's
bodies are made of rotting vegetation? No judgement here only
puzzlement.

No satisfaction for meat-eaters

NO MEAT AND TWO VEGANS: Christchurch couple Nichola and Hans Kriek are
vegans. While she would not describe herself as a vegansexual, Nichola
Kriek said she could understand people not wanting to get too close to
non-vegan or non-vegetarians.

No sex, please, you're a carnivore.

A new phenomenon in New Zealand is taking the idea of you are what you
eat to the extreme.

Vegansexuals are people who do not eat any meat or animal products,
and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners
whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals.

The co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human and Animal Studies
at Canterbury University, Annie Potts, said she coined the term after
doing research on the lives of "cruelty-free consumers".

Cruelty-Free Consumption in New Zealand: A National Report on the
Perspectives and Experiences of Vegetarians and other Ethical
Consumers asked 157 people nationwide about everything from battery
chickens to sexual preferences.

Many female respondents described being attracted to people who ate
meat, but said they did not want to have sex with meat-eaters because
their bodies were made up of animal carcasses.

"It's a whole new thing - I have not come across it before," said
Potts.

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we
consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially
sexually."

Another Christchurch vegan said she found non-vegans attractive, but
would not want to be physically close to them.

"I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally
made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance,"
she said.

Christchurch vegan Nichola Kriek has been married to her vegan
husband, Hans, for nine years.

She would not describe herself as vegansexual, but said it would
definitely be a preference.

She could understand people not wanting to get too close to non-vegan
or non-vegetarians.

"When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people
eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals," she said.
