Vegan Lifestyle
While, the term vegetarian generally refers to what one eats, Vegans make a conscious effort to avoid all
forms of animal exploitation, harm, and cruelty
regardless of any perceived "value" to society. This includes abstinence from all animal-based food products including, but not limited to: all meats, fish and all dairy products, lard, eggs, poultry and gelatin. This also includes abstinence from apparels containing animal-derived ingredients like leather, silk, pearls and furs.
Even consumer and household products that have animal ingredients or have been tested on animals like soaps, shampoos, toothpastes, cosmetics, etc.
are avoided.
