Veganism is a philosophy, diet, and lifestyle.

The term “vegan” combines the beginning and end of the word “vegetarian,” symbolizing the transition to veganism, which starts with vegetarianism.

A vegan is defined as a “strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products” and “one who abstains from using animal products,” extending beyond merely dietary exclusions.

Such forbidden foods include eggs, honey, and gelatin. In contrast, animal products such as leather, wool, fur, and silk are excluded from clothing and upholstery. In other words, veganism is not simply a diet but a lifestyle. This key aspect often goes unnoticed today.
