Vegan

A vegan is a person who chooses to follow a diet and lifestyle that avoids the use of animal products. This includes not only meat, poultry, and fish, but also eggs, dairy products, and honey. Vegans typically eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and may choose to supplement their diet with fortified plant-based alternatives to ensure they are getting all the necessary nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin B12, and iron.

A vegan lifestyle also extends beyond diet, as it often involves avoiding the use of animal products in clothing, cosmetics, and other personal care items. Many people choose to become vegan for ethical reasons, as they believe it is wrong to exploit or harm animals for human use. Others may choose to become vegan for health or environmental reasons, as plant-based diets have been shown to reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases and have a lower environmental impact compared to animal-based diets.
