In the same way we think of vegetarians as people who don't eat meat, we tend to think of vegans as people who give up more: animal products, including meat, fish, seafood, eggs, and dairy. Vegans, however, think of themselves as people who consciously choose to do something. They respect life in all forms: human, animal, and planetary. Many vegans choose to buy cosmetics and personal care products that don't contain animal byproducts and aren't tested on animals. Becoming a vegan is a real lifestyle, not just a way to eat!
'In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Living', authors Beverly Lynn Bennett (better know as the Vegan Chef) and Ray Sammartano provide a complete guide to living vegan style - and the focus is on compassion for all, good health, and great eating!
