Just as a point of reference the term "vegan" was coined in the 40s/50s to refer to a philosophy of avoiding, as much as possible, the exploitation and harm of animals.

Veganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Years after it started people discovered that it had human health and environmental benefits.

In that area vegan simply means no meat, milk, eggs and honey. In that respect raw foodism ( which has no political or ethical origin ) is not "more vegan". It is like the word "pregnant". You are or you are not, there are no degrees of being pregnant.
