What is a vegan???..????????????

Question

just want to know wata vegan is

Answer 1

Veganism is about more than what you eat. It's more of a lifestyle than a diet. There are people who call themselves vegans who are only dietary vegans. If you adhere to the original idea of veganism, these people are really only strict vegetarians. Vegans, according to the original definition, do not consume or use anything that comes from an animal.  This includes animal flesh, dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, leather/suede, wool, silk, fur, and many other lesser-known things. Vegans are also opposed to vivisection, and circuses, rodeos, hunting, and other such things that exploit animals for so-called entertainment or sport. It's nearly impossible for the average person to be 100% vegan, but the point is to live your life in a way that will cause the least amount of suffering to any sentient beings (humans included), and the Earth. Many vegans are also animal rights activists in the traditional sense (protests, letter-writing, leafletting, etc.), but the vegan lifestyle itself is actually a form of activism.

You can also find lots of statistical information & informative videos regarding animals & the environment here:

Answer 9

A vegan is a vegetarian who does not eat, use, wear, purchase or otherwise consume anything of animal origin, to the extent that that's possible.  We don't eat meat, slaughter byproducts, dairy foods, eggs or honey and we don't wear leather, suede, fur, wool, silk, down or feathers, and we don't use makeup, toiletries or consumer goods that are made with animal ingredients or are tested on animals.

What we are NOT is terrorists or psychotics.  It's a choice based on an ethical commitment to compassion.
