What is Vegan??
i was just curious
Answers:
Veganism (also known as strict vegetarianism or pure vegetarianism) is a philosophy and lifestyle that avoids using animals and animal products for food, clothing and other purposes. In practice, a vegan (an adherent of veganism) commits to the abstention from consumption or use of animal products, including meat, fish, and poultry, animal gelatin, honey, eggs and dairy products, as well as articles made of silk, fur, wool, bone, leather, feathers, pearls, nacre, coral, sponges and other materials of animal origin. Most vegans also avoid products that have been tested on animals.

strict vegetarian. No meat or animal by products such as eggs, milk, or honey
A vegan is someone who only eats no food from an animal. No meat, no broth, no eggs and I'm not sure what else. Vegan meaning vegetarian.
My understanding, from having known a vegan couple, is that they won't consume anything of animal origin at all, whether or not the animal survived the process of yeilding up the nourishment - so whereas a vegetarian will probably each cheese 'cos the cow/goat/whatever didn't die to produce it, a vegan wouldn't. So they subsist on vegetables, nuts, fruit, and in some cases substitutes (my friends gave me toasted vegan cheese sandwiches, about which the less said the better in my view) and they have to be careful about making sure that they get all their vitamins and minerals ... but they looked pretty healthy on it nonetheless.
we dont consume or use any animal products.
Its like being vegetarian but more strict. You cant have absolutely anything that comes from animals. Such as dairy products. These people mostly rely on organic food for their nutrition.
Someone who doesn't eat or wear any animal products.
A vegan is a person who eats nothing that comes from animals, that is he or she eats no animal products. This includes such substances as milk and fish and eggs(which are often considered 'vegetarian' by many). Vegans may perhaps be traced back to the spiritual sages that existed as far back as all civilization in the eastern part of the world (especially India). The hindu religion states that God is a vegan and thus many people follow his philosophy.
both of my brothers are Vegans. It means that you only eat food from plant deriven sources. They check every label on food products and will not eat anything that contains even a trace of milk, whey, meat, egg or anything that comes from an animal source. A square mile of land that would feed cows to make 2 hamburgers could feed 40 people with vegatation grown. So they are very conservative people and care about the conservation of the earth. VEGANS also will not wear or use leather products or fur.
