Ethical Vegan

Veganism is a philosophy, diet, and lifestyle. The term “vegan” combining the beginning and ending of the word “vegetarian”, symbolizing the transition to veganism, which starts with vegetarianism. Today, a vegan is defined as a “strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products” as well as “one who abstains from using animal products, extending beyond merely dietary exclusions". Such forbidden foods include eggs, honey, and gelatin, while animal products such as leather, wool, fur, and silk are excluded from clothing and upholstery.

This book will provide an overview of making a good decision about becoming a vegan, including the ethical choices. There will also be a brief chapter-by-chapter summary in the introduction so that the listener will know where the book is heading. If you haven't already, begin incorporating more whole grains, beans, legumes, tofu, nuts, and seeds into your diet. Once you feel comfortable moving forward, you can start phasing out dairy, eggs, and honey. Feel free to do this all at once, one food group at a time, or as slowly as you need to.
