Love veganisim is not a diet it is a philosophy built around animal rights that happens to include a diet - many people make that mistake but it is important to know the difference. A plant based diet if done right is proven to be healthier than any of the others but that is just a tony part of veganism- vegans exclude everything made from animals - this means no leather, no wool, no honey no fur - we avoid circuses, we do not ride horses just to give a few examples - because we believe animals have the right to not be used as commodities - some of us are also vegan for the planet because animal agriculture is the number one reason of soil and water pollution, the number one contributor to climate change , the number one reason for the destruction of the south and middle american rain forests- it is also a major contributor to world hunger. The resources it takes to produce one pound of meat can have you shower for a week and feed 30 people a huge meal of rice and veggies - so until this is your main focus you are not trying to be vegan you are trying to follow a vegan or better said plant based diet 🙃
