It is a personal lifestyle. Many feel that animals should not be ahrmed for food, and may be considered animal rights acitvists. Some just choose it as a healthier lifestyle to live by. It certainly is healthier (if done properly) nutritionally, and produces a signifcantly smaller carbon footprint for those who are environmentally concious.

∙ 7y agoVegans believe that animals are not ours to use. They are sentient fellow earthlings, not inanimate property. Humans have no biological need to consume the flesh or secretions of other animals. We have no need to use animals for clothing or entertainment. If we can live well without hurting others, why wouldn't we?

What are vegans all about?
Vegans are people who choose not to consume or use any animal products. This applies to not consuming the actual meat of an animal (mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, insects, etc) but also no eggs, dairy, and items made from deceased animals like gelatin, cochineal, carmine, etc. Vegans also do not wear animal products, such as leather, silk, wool, feathers, fur, etc. Including items in cosmetics, like carmine, cochineal, lanolin, urea, and tons of other items sourced from animals. Vegetarians also do not eat or use anything that directly causes the death of an animal. (meat, gelatin, fur, leather etc.) The primary difference between vegans and vegetarians is that vegans have a plant based diet entirely free of any animal products. Veganism is not just a diet. It is a lifestyle/philosophy that aims towards nonviolence. Vegans to do not buy products tested on animals, attend circuses, rodeos, zoos, or any other form of animal exploitation.

Is being vegan the same as being vegetarian?
Yes, a true vegan is not only a vegetarian, but also does not use any other animal products, such as leathers and furs. This, of course, means there are probably many people who think they are vegans, but do not realize they are using animal products in everyday life, such as hand soap which is often made from stearates (fatty acids derived from animal fats), and gelatin obtained again from animal renderings. The term is, therefore, more of a belief or mindset, than a reality.

What do vegans have difficulty obtaining?
vitamin B-12 Most soy products have added vitamin B12. Vegans may have difficulty obtaining iron as they don't eat blood--this can be remedied by eating spinach, oatmeal, beans, raisins and food cooked in cast iron. Include vitamin C in your diet as that helps you absorb iron. Protein can be problematic as vegans eat far less protein than those who eat animal products. A vegan can get adequate protein from nuts and seeds, whole grains, bean/bean products and a variety of vegetables (almost all have some protein). Calcium can be problematic but vegans can get calcium from tofu, green leafy vegetables like collards, sesame seeds.

Are vegans complete hypocrites because they still buy things made by people who eat things that once had a face?
No they are not. Vegans can scarcely be considered "hypocrites" because they choose a lifestyle that represents their moral convictions. The only alternatives would be to live on some deserted island somewhere by themselves, or to spend their lives in futile efforts to convert all of the other people who still do eat meat and use animal products. Most vegans are not out to forcibly convert the world, and instead seek to inspire by example.
Why do people botcott from animal products?
