Instead of the cumbersome phrase "total vegetarian", may I suggest the
already existing word "vegan".  Websters New Collegiate Dictionary (1974):

	veg-an \`vej-<schwa>n, -an\ n [by contr. fr. vegetarian]:
	an extreme vegetarian; one that consumes no animal food
	or dairy products
	-- veg-an-ism \`vej-<schwa>-niz-<schwa>m\ n

A vegan practices "veganism".

P.S.:
   A vegan is not from Vega!
