  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Veganism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Veganism is a lifestyle characterized by abstaining from the use or ingestion of animal products, and by avoiding the use of products that have been tested on animals.
Since 1944 the term veganism has been expanded to mean people who (primarily for ethical or environmental reasons) seek to eliminate all animal products in all areas of their lives from those who simply avoid eating animal products.
Another recent variation of veganism is the "freegan" diet (practitioners sometimes called "opportunivores"), which essentially allows its practitioners to violate the tenets of veganism when a food item is free or of a post-consumer nature (example: discarded food).

 Veganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vegans typically have high levels of vitamin C in their diets, which may account for the rarity of anaemia amongst them.
Calcium may also be a concern to vegans who are not eating a variety of foods, especially leafy green vegetables (such as spinach, kale, collard greens, cabbage, etc.), almonds, oats, soy products (soy milk, tofu, etc.), sesame seeds, most beans, and dried fruits, most of which should be included in any diet, vegan or not.
Vegans are at a higher risk of vitamin A deficiency because in its true form (also called retinol) it is found only in animal foods such as fish oils and liver.

 Famous Vegans, adherents of Veganism
Vegans desire to have Veganism be accepted as a natural, logical, universal development for everybody, and not seen as simply yet another "alternative religion." By avoiding identification as a religion, Vegan leaders believe they will have more access to public forums such as schools and government programs which may not allow specifically religious material.
Veganism differs from some of these movements in that it is not explicitly tied to an established world religion (such as the way that Kabbalah is the mystical science of Judaism, or Falun Gong is a reform movement within Chinese traditional religion).
Leaving aside lifestyle-only vegans who are principally adherents of other faiths, the religiously committed core Vegans who disagree about whether or not to identify Veganism as a religion are otherwise indistinguishable from each other with regards to their practice of and belief in Veganism.
