What is VEGAN?
【Vegan】
Have you ever heard of VEGAN before in your life?
Vegan is those who do not consume any of these items:
〇meat
〇fish, seafood
〇dairy products
〇eggs
〇white refined sugar
But there are some other daily life products that they generally avoid using, if very strict.
〇anything that is made of animal (leather jackets and shoes)
〇products that animal testing is conducted (cosmetics, shampoo etc...）
Since I became vegan, I have been often told and asked by my friends or people around me: "You can't eat anything other than vegetables!" or "Is it only vegetables that you eat?" But this is not true, at least for me!
Vegans eat a ton of foods!
I want to say it aloud to everybody who asks me.
Soybeans, tofu, temphe. black beans, chickpeas, lentils. brazil nuts, almond, cashew, peanuts, tahini, pumpkin seeds, sunflowerseeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, veggies, fruits, rice, bread, buckwheat noodles, udon, ramen, cakes, cookies, granola, pudding, cheesecake, tart, yogurt, ice cream, cheese.......... (just to name a few 😉)
From what I have seen, there are lots of people who love eating and are vegan, which is interesting.
However, what was the reason why they stopped eating animals, even though they used to have meats in their meals, just like their culture or tradition?
In addition, why have so many people around the world gone vegan these days?
As you can see, it all depends on individuals and there are so many reasons to go vegan. But these 3 are, in my opinion, the biggest ones.
１．Environment
２．Health※
３．Animal rights
The reason that I have heard the most was to protect our planet and make an action to obtain a better environment.
Mine was, by the way, 1 and 3 ☺
I belive that all of them are extremely crucial for our life, so I will definitely mention about them individually in a separate article later on when I have time :) There are too many important things on these topics, that I do want to tell you guys! haha Kinda can't wait, eh? haha
I am hoping that you guys understand the whole concept about vegan, even small little things.
If any questioons, do not hesitate to contact me anytime! I will get back to you as soon as possible :)
※It is not necessary that vegan is healthy. I will post why it is not healthy being vegan in some cases, because knowing why and how to be healthy as vegan is one of the most significant aspects that you should all know about.
