href=\"https:\/\/www.vegansociety.com\/go-vegan\/definition-veganism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan <\/a>is someone who practices <strong>veganism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veganism is more than just excluding animals and animal-derived products from its diet.<strong> It is a way of life<\/strong>. Although veganism has grown into various classifications, generally this diet avoids<strong> meat, fish, and dairy products. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veganism doesn&#8217;t support the use of any product from any type of animal exploitation which includes but is<strong> <\/strong>not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>fur<\/li><li>leather<\/li><li>silk<\/li><li>wool<\/li><li>soaps<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do vegans eat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A vegan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutshell\/vegan.htm#what\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutshell\/vegan.htm#what\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diet <\/a>includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>vegetables<\/li><li>fruits<\/li><li>whole grains<\/li><li>nuts<\/li><li>legumes<\/li><li>seeds<\/li><li>or any type of food that is <strong>completely plant-based<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Veganism sounds extremely tedious having to avoid a wide variety of products. So why do people do it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of the reasons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegansociety.com\/go-vegan\/why-go-vegan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">why<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>To advocate for animal cruelty<\/li><li>To improve one&#8217;s diet<\/li><li>To lessen one&#8217;s carbon footprint <\/li><li>To live sustainably<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, veganism is definitely beneficial in various ways. Although somewhat restricting, it&#8217;s surely for a good cause.
