About World Vegan Day
Health
Ends: Nov 01, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
The Vegan Society's World Vegan Day kicks off World Vegan Month. November is the chosen month due to Thanksgiving, a feast usually centered on meat entrees, including turkey, ham, and goose. Vegans are against consuming meat, milk, eggs, fish, cheese, and other animal-originating foods.
The Vegan Society organizations hold food fairs and festivals throughout the month to convince people to cease eating meat and using animal products (including leather, wool, silk, furs, and skins) by embracing the vegan lifestyle. Vegans believe their lifestyle is better for their health, animals, and the environment.
VEGAN VERSUS VEGETARIAN
A lot of people who claim to be vegan are actually vegetarians. Knowing the difference between the two is crucial.
What does it mean to go vegan? Vegan is an ultra-austere form of vegetarianism, requiring drastic lifestyle changes and staunch adherence. The idea began in 1944 with British woodworker Donald Watson (1911-2005), who coined the term "vegan" and founded the Vegan Society. Unlike vegetarianism, with its roots in ancient religions, veganism is agnostic and tied to the fringes of the animal rights movement.
Vegans refrain from eating, using, working with, wearing, or enjoying anything to do with animals meaning:
1) No meat, poultry, game, dairy, fish, eggs, honey, gelatin, or mayonnaise.
2) No clothing, products, or home furnishings made from animals, including leather, fur, wool, or silk.
3) No products tested on animals.
4) No attending or watching entertainment that uses animals, including film, TV, circuses, zoos, rodeos, hunting, and wild animal parks.
5) No animal husbandry.
6) Most, but not all, vegans are antivaccine and anti-medication due to the necessity of testing new drugs and vaccines on animals first.
7) Extreme vegans reject having pets, though this issue is unsettled and debated in the community.
In contrast, most vegetarians eat animal products like milk, cheese, yogurt, and eggs. The key is they don't eat dead animals. Honey is a staple, often replacing sugar in recipes, and vegetarians will wear silk, wool, and leather, visit zoos, enjoy films with animals, and tend to support humane farming. Vegetarians, as a group, do not have issues with medication. Another iteration is pescatarians, people who eat fish but do not eat beef, lamb, pork, game, or poultry.
