When you go fully vegan, you cut animal products and animal by-products out of your diet – and your wardrobe – buy cruelty-free cosmetics, toiletries and household products. You don’t visit places where animals are used for entertainment and you avoid other ethically questionable practices. But no two vegans are the sa me, so when it comes to what we eat, our diets likely vary a great deal. Does it matter?
Most people go vegan for ethical reasons, while others take this step for their health or to tread lightly on the environment. We all gradually learn more about the other aspects of veganism and why it simply makes sense, whichever way you look at it. But as the endless debates on social media show, opinions are sharply divided over what a vegan diet should be and what matters.
