Veganism (also called strict or pure vegetarian diets) is a diet and lifestyle that prohibits the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. The most common reasons for going on a Vegan diet are one’s beliefs and conviction concerning animal rights, the environment and spiritual or religious concerns. Health is but a secondary reason or a benefit of being on the diet.
