Veganism and Vegan Lifestyle

Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. 
Also seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practical, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind. 
The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral conviction concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns.

 Of particular concern to many vegans are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources for animal farming.
Vegan diets (sometimes called strict or pure vegetarian diets) are a subset of vegetarian diets.

Properly planned vegan diets are healthy and have been found to satisfy nutritional needs.  However, poorly planned vegan diets can be low in levels of calcium, iodine, vitamin B12 and vitamin D.
Vegans are therefore encouraged to plan their diet and take dietary supplements as appropriate.

Although honey and silk are by definition animal products, some vegans consider their use and the use of other insect products to be acceptable.

A vegan lifestyle could be a very healthy one if proper care and attention is made to the foods eaten.

Every day I am finding excellent alternatives to dairy, like coconut and rice milk. Cooking with Soya milk, butter and cream has not affected my recipes.

Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness by Robert Cheek:
"Robert's book is about one thing: Experience. Robert has led the life of a vegan bodybuilder over the past decade, traveling many different roads to his current path, and he shares everything with you in this book. From trying different protein supplements, deciding what works and what has side effects, and deciphering vitamin and mineral language that can sometime be intimidating, Robert manages to keep the reader informed on a manageable level. He also cites other successful vegan athletes, including a favorite of mine, Brendan Brazier, and discusses things such as our need to keep our bodies in an alkaline environment for best results."  more
