What is veganism?

Veganism is more than a diet - it's an ethos. Veganism is a way of life that excludes the use of animal products, both in food and in everyday products such as clothing, cosmetics and household items. More and more people are choosing veganism out of love for animals, health and the planet. An estimated 80 million people worldwide are vegan.
