	Vegan Living: The Path of Compassion - by Joanne Stepaniak
		The word "vegan" was coined in England in 1944 by Donald Watson who, along with several other members of the Vegetarian Society in Leicester, wanted to form an alliance of nondairy vegetarians as a subgroup.
		In late 1944, The Vegan Society was established, advocating a totally plant-based diet excluding flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, and animals' milk, butter, and cheese, and also encouraging the manufacture and use of alternatives to animal commodities, including clothing and shoes.
		From its inception, veganism was defined as a "philosophy" and "way of living." It was never intended to be merely a diet and, still today, describes a lifestyle and belief system that revolves around a reverence for life.

	Veganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vegans note additional health benefits are gained by not consuming artificial substances such as growth hormones and antibiotics, which are often given to farmed animals.
		Vegans are potentially at risk for being deficient in several nutrients, such as vitamin B12, vitamin A, iron and iodine.
		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.

	American Vegan Society
		Veganism was defined and the first Vegan Society formed in 1944 in England.
		Highlights of the American Vegan Society's early endeavors were: a Coast to Coast Crusade across the U.S. and into Canada 1961, North Atlantic Lecture Tour (Iceland, Britain, Europe) 1965, Round the World Lecture Tour 1967 and 1968.
		A history of veganism would not be complete without commenting on the health food stores (many run by Seventh Day Adventists) that have sustained vegans with foods outside the mainstream through the years.

	Vegan Views 97 - Vegan Shakers: Interview with Steve Walsh
		Vegans are, of course, vegetarians and the percentage of vegetarians who are also vegan is increasing steadily.
		Even though vegans tend to have good folate intake, their homocysteine levels tend to be higher than those of meat eaters because vegans tend to have lower B12 intakes.
		For instance, the Vegan Organic Network are trying to establish an Education and Research centre for stockfree farming, producing standards for vegan organic food similar to the way that the Soil Association does for organic food, and are putting together a Growers' Manual to help farmers to take up stockfree farming.

	Vitamin B12
		Two subgroups of vegans are at particular risk of B12 deficiency: long-term vegans who avoid common fortified foods (such as raw food vegans or macrobiotic vegans) and breastfed infants of vegan mothers whose own intake of B12 is low.
		Vegan intakes of folate are generally good, particularly if plenty of green vegetables are eaten.
		Vegans using adequate amounts of fortified foods or B12 supplements are much less likely to suffer from B12 deficiency than the typical meat eater.

	The Vegan Room
		Veganism is a way of life that as far as possible, excludes the use of animal derived products, whether they are for food, clothing, household products or medicines.
		Adopting a vegan diet has also been shown to prevent, improve and sometimes cure conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome and even cancer.
		A large proportion of the crops grown in the world are fed to the huge number of farm animals bred to satisfy omnivorous consumers.

		But with veganism, it’s clear that vegan activism is going to get a foothold only when people who are serious about it begin to promote it and educate people on the issues.
		Veganism is not about negotiation with industries regarding which kind of confinement we want to pay for.
		A truly vegan animal-rights movement would necessarily be non-violent, and it is no accident that Donald Watson, throughout a rich life that lasted most of a century, never wavered on this point.

	What is Veganism - by Joanne Stepaniak
		To understand what it means to be vegan, it is vital to reflect on the historical roots and origin of the word.
		In late 1944, The Vegan Society was established, followed shortly thereafter by the creation of a manifesto describing their unified mission and perspective.
		Being vegan is at once complex, challenging and rewarding because each element of a vegan's life is chosen with conscious awareness; all options are weighed in terms of achieving the highest good possible.

		This information sheet was prepared by Stephen Walsh, a UK Vegan Society trustee, and other members of the International Vegetarian Union science group (IVU-SCI), in October 2001.
		A blood B12 level measurement is a very unreliable test for vegans, particularly for vegans using any form of algae.
		In choosing to use fortified foods or B12 supplements, vegans are taking their B12 from the same source as every other animal on the planet – micro-organisms – without causing suffering to any sentient being or causing environmental damage.
