 Introduction

For those unfamiliar with this way of eating and living, it might sound confusing, or
even downright weird. Different people are vegan for many different reasons. Being
vegan has a lower environmental footprint. A vegan diet has the potential to be
very healthy, especially for those at risk for heart disease or cancer. And finally,
choosing vegan options reduces the number of animals that are harmed in order to
feed us, something many vegans care about a great deal.

 Vegan Food

The easier question to answer is not, “what can vegans eat”, but rather, what can’t
they? A vegan diet excludes animals and their byproducts. That means that
vegans do not eat meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk or other dairy products, or honey.
Vegans also do not eat products that contain animal-derived ingredients, even in
small amounts. Some common animal ingredients that vegans watch out for inside
other foods include:

 Gelatin (prepared from collagen taken from animal body parts), which is
used in many sweets, like fruit snacks, the frosting on Pop Tarts, Starbursts,
and other confections
 Confectioner’s glaze, which is a sweet glaze that contains shellac, made
from crushed bugs
 Egg wash on the outside of baked goods
 Natural flavors derived from chicken or dairy – I recently found potato chips
with chicken in them!

If a food product doesn’t have milk in the ingredients, but is labeled as “may
contain milk” or “may contain traces of milk”, it’s totally suitable for vegans.That
label does NOT mean that the manufacturer randomly adds milk to the product if
they’re feeling mischievous that day. It means (generally) that the food is produced
in a shared facility where dairy products are also produced, so there may be cross-
contamination. That means the label is important to people with dairy allergies, but
to vegans who do not want to consume or spend money toward dairy, the food is
completely appropriate to buy and eat.

After reading the list of things vegans can’t eat, you may be thinking that this vegan
diet thing seems a little dire. In conclusion… vegans eat… food! A lot of the same
food that you do. From hummus to salsa to tacos, we eat a whole lot of regular ole’
food. The food we choose to eat just happens to not include animal products.

 Conclusions

 Dairy products (cheese excepting) are pretty darn easy to cut out of your
diet these days.
 Vegans have come up with a lot of substitutes for eggs.
 Some vegans go the route of using store-bought cheese substitutes made
by brands like Daiya, Follow Your Heart, Tofutti, etc.
 While some vegans may happen to be gluten-free too, due to allergies or
intolerances or some other diet goals, there’s otherwise no connection.
 They chose not to consume dairy, eggs, or any other products of animal
origin, in addition to refraining from meat, as do vegetarians.
 People may also choose to avoid animal products because of the
environmental impact of animal agriculture.
 Some people choose veganism for its potential health effects.
 Ethical vegans strongly believe that all creatures have the right to life and
freedom.
 Avoiding animal products doesn’t consign you to veggies and tofu alone.
