Simply Explained

Vegan Diet Explained

A vegan diet excludes all animal products. That means: no meat, no fish, no dairy, no eggs, no honey and no gelatin. Instead, the focus is on vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. Many vegans also see veganism as a lifestyle that extends far beyond what's on their plate.

Background

Why do people go vegan?

🐾

Animal Welfare

Many vegans want to avoid contributing to the suffering of animals in factory farming. No animal should suffer or die for their food.

🌍

Environment & Climate

Animal agriculture is responsible for a large share of global CO₂ emissions and water consumption. A plant-based diet has a significantly smaller ecological footprint.

💪

Health

Many people report more energy, better blood test results and a healthier feeling after switching to a plant-based diet.
