| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of 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 human health, ethical commitment or moral conviction concerning animal rights or welfare, the environment, 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. The book analyses the vegan lifestyle including the ethics around it, the health benefits, the food, and the advocacy groups.
