Avon got an award from PETA a few years ago for being cruelty-free. They no longer meet the new standard because they do not send out letters barring their suppliers from animal testing, however, many of their products are not tested on animals nor do they contain animal products. If you go to the website you can email them and ask which products are vegan.

I struggled with an eating disorder several years ago, but my choice to be vegan was based entirely on ethics. For me, it represents a large part of my recovery, as I am healthier now than ever. Interestingly, I did just read an article about this and doctors are propsing a new disorder based not on weight but on the concept of "pure food." They say some of the symptoms are eating only healthy food and say that it is difficult to treat because...um...they are healthy.[/i]
