What exactly is veganism? Before we start, I want to make sure we are on the same page with some definitions. You’ve probably heard a lot of terms such as veganism and plant-based, often used interchangeably, but what do mean? Vegan Being vegan means living in way that doesn’t use animal products at all. You probably know that vegans don’t eat meat, fish and dairy, but they also don’t consume things like honey, gelatine and some beers & wines that are made using animal products. It’s not just about food it’s a lifestyle. It also includes clothing, accessories makeup, toiletries and cleaning products. Whole food plant-based This is simply about diet, not a way of life. A whole food plant-based diet means eating in a way that doesn’t include animal products, but you might still use animal products such as toiletries tested on animals or leather shoes. The focus is on including as many plant-based foods in your diet as possible, so your diet would be made up of vegetables, fruits, lentils, beans, wholegrains, nuts and seeds. Plant-based Following a plant-based means you don’t eat animal products, but you may not be eating whole foods. This could include the many types of vegan convenience food that you can now find in most supermarkets. A vegan or plant-based diet is often equated with health. While it can be healthy, it wouldn’t be the case if your diet was made up predominantly from plant-based convenience or processed foods.
