Within the
last couple of decades, more and more vegetarians
have changed to a vegan lifestyle for various
health, environmental and spiritual reasons. Many
people eliminate milk, cheese, dairy products, eggs
and their derivatives for moral reasons. Others
change their diets after finding out about
groudbreaking scientific studies which show a
correlation between a high-fat, high-cholesterol
diet and the onset of heart disease and other
degenerative conditions. Strict vegans also choose
not to wear leather clothing, shoes, or fur, and a
few even believe that the use of animal-derived
ingredients should be totally eliminated from
personal care, household and other products.
For information on becominga vegan, contact the American Vegan Society, Vegetarian
Resource Group, EarthSave, PETA or Vegan
Action. They each can
provide educational resources that can help you
integrate a cruelty-free vegan
lifestyle --- ultimately leading to a more peaceful,
harmonious existence for all sentient beings on our
planet.
