A new study says that vegans are shunning sex with meat-eaters, likening the bodies of carnivores to "a graveyard for animals."

Annie Potts, co-director of the New Zealand Centre of Human and Animal Studies, said she coined the term “vegansexuals” during her research.
Potts discovered the trend while interviewing 157 vegetarians and so-called ethical consumers. "It's a whole new thing — I have not come across it before," said Potts.
