 Vegetarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Veganism excludes all animal products from its diet and attire, whether or not this involves the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, down feathers and silk).
Veganism — Those who avoid eating any animal products, including eggs, milk, cheese, and sometimes honey, are known specifically as dietary vegans or strict vegetarians.
Yet, both vegetarian and vegan advocacy groups invariably promote their diet as healthy while claiming that the diet which includes meat and/or fish is inherently unhealthy.

 The Vegan Sourcebook - A Review
It is a "sourcebook" in the literal sense of the word -- not a dry, encyclopedic compilation of facts, but a spiritually refreshing exploration of the sources of veganism, as well as an immensely useful compendium of resources...ideas, strategies, and solutions.
And she succeeds brilliantly in dispelling the myths that vegans consider themselves a morally superior lot -- "holier than thou" -- or that veganism is a case of vegetarianism carried to extreme, immoderate lengths.
The Vegan Sourcebook is outstanding in its forthrightness; it uncompromisingly identifies the power of compassion as the driving force of a vegan lifestyle.

 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.

Vegans also by and large promote conservationist environmental and energy policies and sustainable agriculture, not least because such policies are seen as steps toward achieving the aims of veganism on a grander scale, in part by reducing the amount of inefficiently mass-produced meat.
Veganism is also more environmentally sustainable, and may improve the conditions of low income people in and out of third world countries by freeing more food for human consumption.
The primary, ethical argument against veganism attacks the concept of "indirect responsibility" stating that it is impossible to avoid all harm: animals are sometimes killed in the process of producing vegan food, whether by accident during harvest or intentionally, as pest control.
