What is veganism, really?
According to the healthline.com, the term “vegan” was coined back in 1944 by small group of vegetarians who broke away from the Leicester Vegetarian Society in England to form the Vegan Society. In addition to refrain from eating any kind of meat, they chose not to consume dairy, eggs, or any other products of animal origin.
The term “vegan” was chosen from the combination of the first and last letters of “vegetarian”. Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude all forms of exploitation and cruelty towards animals for food, clothing, or any purposes. Many people nowadays use the term of “vegan” to refer exclusively to diet. However, vegan extends beyond eating a plant-based diet.

A vegan diet can also help minimize the side effects linked to the antibiotics and hormones used in modern animal agriculture.
