What Does it Mean to be Vegan?
At its heart, veganism is about treating all others the way you’d like to be treated yourself.
Everyone, regardless of race, gender, age, sexuality, ability or species wants the freedom to live a full life. Animals may be different from us, but they are no less deserving of our consideration as living beings.
Being vegan doesn’t just provide adequate nutrition, it’s actually better for you!
A fully plant-based diet excludes all animal products including meat, fish, dairy, eggs and honey as well as other more hidden animal ingredients such as gelatin. We encourage you to switch to cruelty free products in all areas of your life, including personal care, beauty, fashion and household products.
