Vegan
Veganism involves the practice of completely abstaining from using animal-derived products, particularly within one’s diet, and also aligns with a philosophical stance against treating animals solely as commodities.
A person who adopts either this dietary practice or philosophical belief is termed a vegan (pronounced /ˈviːɡən/ VEE-gən). Within veganism, distinct categories and practices sometimes emerge.
Dietary vegans, often called strict vegetarians, entirely exclude animal products from their consumption—not only meat but also dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, and other substances derived from animals.
Ethical veganism refers to individuals who go beyond dietary restrictions, integrating their vegan philosophy more broadly into their everyday lifestyle choices, such as avoiding leather clothing, cosmetics tested on animals, or engaging in any activity that exploits or harms animals.
Environmental veganism, another distinct approach, emphasizes the ecological impact of animal agriculture, advocating the exclusion of animal-based products because their farming and harvesting processes contribute significantly to environmental harm through resource depletion, deforestation, climate change, and habitat destruction.
