What is a Vegan?

A person who does not eat any food derived from animals and who typically does not use other animal products (honey, leather, some beauty products, etc).

Vegan diets exclude the following:

Meat (poultry, beef, pork)

Seafood

Eggs

Dairy (milk, cheese, butter)

Honey

Whey

Gelatin

Lard

Why go Vegan?

1. Health - Many people are choosing to go vegan for personal health reasons. Vegan diets are typically higher in nutrients and disease fighting food that combat serious illness such as heart disease, the number one leading cause of death in both men and women, several types of cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. 

2. Environmental Reasons- Animal agriculture is the leading contributor to greenhouse gases and the acceleration of global warming. One way to decrease your carbon footprint is going vegan!

3. Animal Cruelty- Many people chose to lived a plant based lifestyle because they do not want to participate  in the suffering and killing of other sentient beings, particularly farm animals.
