Veganism is defined as a way of living that excludes all forms of animal cruelty for food, clothing, or any other purpose. For these reasons, the vegan diet aims to avoid all animal products. What vegans do is that they've created nutritional substitutes for products such as meat, eggs, jelly, and dairy. The substitutes are usually Tofu for cheese, agar for gelatin, and flax with water for eggs. Also, vegan bacon is made of soy sauce and laminated carrots. For milk-lovers don't worry because there is almond milk or soy milk!
Here we will talk about the most common questions people have asked me about vegan lifestyles because, even though I am NOT vegan, I have investigated a lot about the topic. When I usually talk to friends, they have millions of questions and these are the most common ones. WARNING: Some of them might be weird!
Why is Jell-o or gelatin not vegan?
This is because gelatin is a mixture of proteins extracted from the skin, boiled and ground bone, hooves, tendons, organs, and viscera of cattle, pigs, horses, and poultry. But the most common substitute is agar-agar, gelatin made of algae, cruelty-free. So enjoy your algae flavored agar-agar like it was real gelatin if you liked.
What is the difference between veganism and vegetarianism?
People usually think they are the same but no. Vegetarianism you can eat everything except red meat and chicken or fish. However, veganism means not eat or wear any product that comes from animals, not even makeup applies.
Can I eat dessert if I'm vegan?
-Of course! There are many cruelty-free options for your favorite treats.
Benefits for the environment:
Veganism combats world hunger. A lot of the food that's grown in the world isn't being eaten by humans. It conserves water. Hundreds of millions of people around the world don't have access to clean water. It cleans the soil. A vegan diet reduces energy consumption. It's more ethical. While meat is more calorically dense than plants, more aggregate calories (and more diverse nutrient profiles) could be produced if that land was dedicated to various plants.
I know this will sound weird to you, but most likely by the year 2050, due to environmental factors, we will all need to be vegan. This means people that are already vegan are prepared.
