Descriptions of veganism from this point of view typically read more like laundry lists of what one doesn't do, and make it seem more like a lifestyle of avoidance. Using that kind of a description downplays the tremendously positive and empowering aspects of veganism. But if you really, really want to know what a vegan doesn't do (and I do understand), here goes: Vegans don't eat meat or other animal products, including but not exclusive to milk, eggs and honey. Vegans don't wear animal products, including but not ...  Read the complete review

My cousin decided to turn vegan about two years ago. She had been a vegetarian for just over ten years and after much decision making she decided to make the change and turn vegan. Now she absolutely loves the taste of meat! However she hates the thought of eating an animal, she hates what it has done to the world and environment. In the first year of being vegan she was incredibly ill, she suffed from low levels of vitamin B12 and vitamin D. After talking it through with her doctor she was determined to stick with veganism. After several months of seeing a nutrionist she was back on track and had a planned diet to follow. As she is a vegan the ...  Read the complete review
