One form of vegetarianism that does not include any animal products at all is known as a vegan diet. Everything from meat to eggs to dairy to any other substance or by-product originating from animals falls under this category. Vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds are the mainstays of a vegan diet. Many people choose to live a vegan diet due to ethical concerns about animal welfare, concerns about the environment, and their health. Animals should not be used in any way, shape, or form, and vegans strive to prevent this. Make sure you're getting enough of these and other vital nutrients-protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and more-if you're vegan. A well-balanced vegan diet requires advance preparation and education on where to find these nutrients in plants. By eating a wide variety of complete foods and, in certain situations, supplementing with fortified foods, many vegans are able to fulfill their nutritional requirements.
