Veganism is a philosophy and practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet. That is, vegans choose not to eat food that comes from animals, including meat, eggs and dairy products (like milk, cheese, and yogurt). A vegan diet is sometimes called a strict vegetarian diet. Vegans try not to use any other animal products, such as leather, wool, feathers, bone, or pearl. They also try to avoid products that have been tested on animals. Many vegans believe in animal rights, and may campaign for it. Vegans do eat all kinds of fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds, and things made from them like vegan sweets, vegan cheese and vegan cakes.

Reasons to become vegan are ethical, health, religious, environmental, or socio-economical.
