What is Veganism.
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes all animal-derived ingredients. Everone knows that vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry. Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps which have been tested on or derived from animals.
This lifestyle can be a pretty big commitment. Add up all of the dietary restrictions, and you have a nutritional plan that only the most committed people can sustain. It’s precisely these reasons that scare some people off of veganism altogether. The good news is you don’t have to become a full-fledged vegan to reap many of the benefits of the diet. In fact,there are a growing number of health benefits experts believe that simply eliminating meat and dairy for a few days a week can make you healthier, this is where school meals and education can help chidren reap some of these benefits.
