A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone who does not eat meat, fish, poultry, or any animal by-products such as eggs, dairy, and honey. Vegans also do not use products tested on animals or any product derived from animals, such as leather, fur, silk, and wool. Veganism is a philosophy, lifestyle, and set of principles, not simply a diet.
Living a vegan lifestyle provides numerous benefits to animals’ lives, the environment, and our own health.
