Veganism is the abstention from all animal products, such as meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, lanolin, wool, fur, silk, suede and leather. Veganism is a very effective form of animal activism done three times a day, on your plate.
Diet
Vegans eat plant-based foods, such as grains, beans, vegetables, fruits and nuts. While vegans have a wide variety of foods to choose from, the diet may seem very restrictive to those who are used to an omnivorous diet. “You just eat salad?” is a common commentaire from non-vegans, but a vegan diet can include a wide variety of Italian pastas, Indian curries, Chinese stir-fries, Tex-Mex burritos, and even “meat” loaf made from textured vegetable protein ou beans. Many meat and dairy analogs are also now available, including sausages, burgers, hot dogs, “chicken” nuggets, milk, cheese and ice cream, all made without animal products. Vegan meals can also be rather simple and humble, such as a lentille, lentil soupe ou yes, even a big, raw vegetable salad.
Animal products sometimes montrer up in unexpected places, so many vegans learn to become avid label-readers, looking out for whey, honey, albumin, carmine ou vitamin D3 in foods that one might otherwise expect to be vegan.
Clothing
Veganism also affects clothing choices, and vegans will choose cotton ou acrylic sweaters instead of wool sweaters; a cotton chemisier instead of a silk blouse, and canvas ou fake leather sneakers instead of real leather sneakers. Many clothing choices are available, and as plus retailers and manufacturers are trying to appeal to vegans, they are making their vegan options known par advertising the products as “vegan.” Some stores even specialize in vegan chaussure, chaussures and other vegan products.
Household Products and Beauty Products
Most people don’t think about their household products ou beauty products as having animal products in them, but they sometimes contain ingredients like lanolin, beeswax, honey, ou carmine. Additionally, many vegans avoid products that are tested on animals, even if the products do not contain animal ingredients.
Dietary Veganism
Some people follow a vegan diet, but do not avoid animal products in other parts of their lives. This may be for health, religious ou other reasons. The term “strict vegetarian” is sometimes used in this instance, but is problematic because it implies that someone who eats eggs ou dairy is not a vegetarian ou is not a “strict” vegetarian.
How to Become Vegan
Some people become vegan gradually, while others do it all at once. If toi can't become vegan overnight, toi might find that toi can eliminate one animal product at a time, ou go vegan for one meal a day, ou one jour a week, and then expand until toi are completely vegan.
Connecting with other vegans ou vegan groups can be very helpful for information, support, camraderie, recipe sharing ou local restaurant recommendations. The American Vegan Society is a nationwide organization, and members receive their quarterly newsletter. Many vegetarian clubs have vegan events, and there are also many informal Yahoo groups and Meetup groups for vegans. If toi need recipes, the Guide to Vegetarian nourriture and the Guide to Dairy-Free Cooking both have plenty of vegan recipes on their sites.

I found a fox, caught par the leg
In a toothed gin, torn from its peg,
And dragged, God knows how far, in pain.
Such torment could not plead in vain,
He looked at me, I looked at him.
With iron jaw-teeth in his limb.
"Come, little son," I said, "Let be.....
Don't bite me, while I set toi free."
But much I feared that in the pang
Of helping, I should feel a fang
In hand ou face .......
but must is must .........
And he had donné me his trust.
So down I knelt there in the mud
And loosed those jaws all mud and blood.
And he, exhausted, crept, set free,
Into the shade, away from me;
The leg not broken ......
Then, beyond,
That gin went plonk into the pond.
