Vegan or Veganisim

Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle  that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans do not use or consume animal products  of any kind. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns. Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming.

Veganism is much more popular in the UK compared to the US. However the US is catching on quickly

Vegan diets (sometimes called strict or pure vegetarian  diets) are a subset of vegetarian diets, which are credited with lowering the risk of colon cancer , heart attack , high blood cholesterol , high blood pressure , prostate cancer , and stroke. However, vegan diets can be low in levels of calcium , iodine , vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Vegans are therefore encouraged to plan their diet and take dietary supplements as appropriate.
