Draft statement (clear, succinct): The vegan culinary genre

[Maynard S. Clark]

I'm drafting a statement on 'vegan culinary genre' and would like your constructive input in my earliest moments of the effort.

The vegan culinary genre is defined as a vegan-compliant culinary style or genre, regardless of its motivations for restricting the foods with which one works to plants.  The vegan culinary genre includes chefs, dietitians, nutritionists, nutrition educators, and cooks who focus upon evidence-based plant-based whole foods cuisine and whose who use prepared and processed foods, often abundantly.  Some in the vegan culinary genre focus upon desserts and 'decadent foods' (often sugary desserts) which use no animal ingredients or byproducts (which can be a conscientious discipline for many), while others avoid desserts entirely and make improved health outcomes their primary objective in developing a 'sustainable vegan-compliant cuisine' - often in order to satisfy a set of moral principles and other objectives: not harming or using animals in any way, not supporting animal agriculture, and not impacting the planet's biosystem with one's food (and often other) marketplace choices.

Often self-representing dietary vegans emphasize the animal advocacy in their presentation of what (their?) 'veganism' is.  Also, (IMO too) often, the advocate frames the presentation around what s/he finds most tolerable or salable (sail-able?) or personally comfortable - then works from there.  I've seen, also, many very non-encyclopedic quality statements which, though very good, don't SUCCINCTLY evaluate the pros and cons of choosing one sub-path or the other.

Again, this is about VEGAN-COMPLIANT diets.

Clarity and 'economy' of statement - few words, as many words as are needed - but no more... unless the secondary or subsidiary portion illuminates or clarifies with examples.

Again, the discussion is NOT about 'why' I'm doing this.  It's about the most successful PRODUCT: clear, succinct statement about the vegan CULINARY (not diet) standard - a vegan compliant culinary standard, whether for a group to contract with a food service or institution, or for a family to provide a legal basis to sue an elderly home if they don't provide the vegan parent with fully vegan meals, if that's in the contract, or for a student to expect that some vegan compliant food standards are maintained constantly throughout her or his years in an institution served by an instituional food service.
