Vegan Life  | More  by Ruby Lawrence  While vegetarianism is
becoming more widely understood globally, there are still many
myths surrounding veganism. Being vegan is more than a diet; it
is a lifestyle, with amazing benefits.  What exactly is being
vegan?  Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude
the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.[1]
Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any
kind.  Being vegan is not an easy task at first, as the vast
majority of products (from food to face wash) have exploited
animals in their making. But once you learn how to replace what
you currently use with animal friendly goods, being vegan comes
naturally!  Why vegan?  The first and foremost reason for going
vegan is that it eliminates suffering and saves the lives of
thousands of animals. It is a compassionate lifestyle that does
not rely on death and torture. Who wouldn’t want to live this
way? In just the United States over 9 billion animals are killed
for food every day.[
