Allergic to casein and any animal matter besides? Your friend can't eat meat?

She enjoys meat just fine. It's just milk proteins she is allergic too, and it's not an intolerance.

So she's not vegan then? I thought you meant that your friend is vegan because of her allergies and that you said that to give me an example of another reason to be vegan?

[balls187]

No, she isn't.

And my interpretation of the original question wasn't why someone wants to be vegan, it was why someone would want to eat vegan imitations of non-vegan food.
