Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are human health, ethical commitment or moral conviction concerning animal rights or welfare, the environment, and spiritual or religious concerns. Of particular concern to many vegans are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources for animal farming. Properly planned vegan diets are healthful and have been found to satisfy nutritional needs, and offer protection against heart disease, cancer, and other diseases. Various polls have reported vegans to be between 0.2% and 1.3% of the U.S. population, and between 0.25% and 0.4% of the UK population. From Wikipedia under the

I have been vegetarian for over a year, and once I move out of my mother's house in two months I am planning on becoming a vegan. I was wondering what books you guys like that are about veganism. I am looking for 3 main things: 1) Recipes/Meal plans and some way to make sure I am getting all my nutrients 2) Motivation! 3) A list of foods that are and aren't vegan. Asked by Alexa - Fri Jun 26 12:12:11 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. 1) It's a rude tone and since you are already going vegan, don't know if you need the convincing, but Skinny Bitch has a lot of information broken down into a very readable way. 2) Anything by Dreena Burton. Everyday Vegan has great recipes and good nutritional advice. And as you get more into cooking, then Vive La Vegan is great too. Although I find that her recipes are a little too much for me to handle on weekday nights. 3) If you go to Borders or Barnes and Nobles you can find several different books that are vegan meals in under 30 minutes, 5 ingredient vegan recipes, student vegan cookbooks which focus on smaller portions instead of family sizes and are simple and budget friendly, and even slowcooker vegan books.

I've been vegetarian for about 5 years now, and I've recently decided to try going vegan. I genuinely no longer want to consume animal products and I'm genuinely grossed out by them, but I can't help feeling that it's just another way for me to obsessed about my diet. I'm a serial yo-yo dieter, but I've decided to never go on another diet and just eat properly. What do you think? Is veganism just another food obsession opportunity? Asked by PinkCarnation - Thu Dec 7 05:25:28 2006 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. Veganism in itself is certainly NOT an eating disorder. Despite what many people think, the vegan diet is not necessarily limited. In fact, going vegan opened up a whole new world of foods that I probably never would have tried otherwise, and I would say my diet is more varied than the average person who eats meat, milk, eggs, etc. However, it is possible that an eating disorder (ED) could certainly manifest itself as veganism. Many people with an ED will use vegetarianism (in any form) as a way to cover up their ED. It's a good cover to not eat any calorie dense foods, and opt to only have salad. (Note that only having salad is NOT what a healthy, normal vegan eats on a regular basis. Sometimes we may opt for the salad at a… [cont.] Answered by fyvel - Thu Dec 7 07:36:56 2006 Is it true that veganism is dangerous to the unborn?
Q. Ethical concerns aside, as living organisms we require the kind of diet that includes meat or at the very least a substitute for meat. When a pregnant lady chooses not to eat meat or products derived from animals, she can be putting her child's life or development in danger. At least, that is what I have heard. Does anyone have any scientific data either supporting or denying this? If adults choose not to eat meat, that is their choice.But growing children need a proper diet, and vegetables are not the sole source of the essentials required for proper development. That's my opinion... does anyone have an educated argument either for or against it? Asked by askthepizzaguy - Fri Jun 29 06:27:45 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Whilst it is easier to get the elements necessary for developing life from meat/diary products, as long as a carefully balanced diet is followed, there is no reason why a mother to be should not be a vegan. As a small example, Soya milk is actually higher in calcium that cows milk. Where I do not agree with the vegetarian/vegan way of life is when a child is not allowed to eat meat. The child should be allowed to make up his/her own mind when they are old enough.
