veganism is the practice of eliminating the use of  all animal products . there is three types of mainstream veganisms which choose this life style for different reasons, not necessarily all concerning health or humane practices.   there are dietary vegans who eliminate all animal products from their diet only. then there is ethical vegans who reject all animal products from their lives for any purpose. and lastly there is environmental veganism, they reject the use of animal products because the practice is unsustainable and environmentally damaging.

the term vegan means " non dairy vegetarian" , the word originated in England in 1944. the earliest trace of veganism is traced to the greek philosopher Pythogarus 6 th century,  who warned that eating animals might involve eating a human soul. he was a strong believer in transmigration of souls , there for he argued that humans should regard all living things as kindred souls.

any plant based dish is considered vegan. plant cream and plant milk is widely use in vegan cuisine such as almond milk , coconut milk and soy milk and cashew cream. there is also mock meats made of gluten or soy which are becoming more and more widely available. Nutritional yeast is also used in place of regular cheese. the development of all of these new foods is allowing vegans all over to feel more included in society with all of the replacements that are becoming more and more widely available, instead of feeling like an outcast or settling for a plate of vegetables. each year more and more people are converting into Veganism, Veganism is not a trend as many people used to label it years ago , it is showing that it is a life style that is rapidly growing.
