Maybe I have fallen behind the curve, but isn't "Vegan" food that isn't meat or dairy? If so, doesn't any grocery store have vegetables for sale?

There is much more available these days for vegans than just vegetables. There are vegan foods available that provide protein, etc., for a healthy well-balanced diet. Lots a soy-based choices. And so on.

And vegan actually means foods that are not processed with any animal participation, so that means no honey or mushrooms.

Gone are the days of the pale skinny hippie vegan. ;)

Fruit and most vegetables require bees for pollination, are they all off limits as well? Earthworms and other insects are a necessary part of breaking down the silage other organic matter into usable nutriments for those edible plants. How is using bees, beetles and earthworms as slave labor ethical?

That's the difficult part of being vegan - at some point, you have make a line that you won't cross. Some folks will include mushrooms others won't as so on.

For me, I'm vegetarian. I just do what makes sense to me and don't do what offends my personal sensibilities and ethics, and I don't worry about how others see it. It's a personal choice as to how far you take it.
