VEGANS
Vegans do not consume any animal products. This includes all forms of meat, dairy products, eggs, and usually honey. This does not include human milk which is natural and very acceptable. Many vegans do not wear items made of leather and some choose not to wear wool or silk for compassion or solidarity reasons. People choose a vegan lifestyle for many reasons including compassion for animals, disdain for the modern conditions in which animals are kept, spiritual or religious reasons, and environmental concern. A smaller percentage of people choose veganism as "buck the system" type of nonconformity. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Mohandas Gandhi
