>If I eat an apple, am I eating vegan food?

Unless that apple is an animal byproduct, yes, technically it is vegan (as are all other fruits and vegetables). Realistically though, no one calls single pieces of fruits and vegetables vegan, it's more commonly used to refer to dishes

>I think it's more accurate to call food "vegan" when it's being eaten by someone who is respecting vegan principles.

So if I order and eat Thai food it is American food because I'm American, but if I was Thai it would be Thai food?

>What I mean to say is that I think "vegan food" is defined by the eater, not the makeup of the food.

By definition, it is defined by the makeup of the food
