Veganism is...

the active avoidance of consuming, using, or supporting anything that contains, comes from, or causes suffering for an animal.

​

That is avoiding eating all animal, or animal-derived products. Not using products make with animal skins, bones, or by-products. Not using anything that was tested on animals. Avoiding social activities where an animal is being exploited. 

​

That's it. It's just the conscious avoidance of any product that causes suffering or death of animals. So, go vegan & save the animals. 

​

Veganism has taken on a few other motivators recently too.

​

Lots of people are going vegan to reduce their environmental impact. It has been shown that factory farming is one of the top contributors to greenhouse gases. So, go vegan & save the planet. 

​

With the impact of a few documentaries, people are also going vegan for their health. A whole food vegan diet has been shown to reduce your risk of all 15 of the top causes of death in the United States. It has also been shown to reverse a lot of those diseases. Go vegan & save yourself.
