Vegan
Veganism excludes all animal products—meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey—focusing entirely on plant-based foods. This compassionate approach emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. With proper planning, a vegan diet provides all essential nutrients while offering significant health benefits and the lowest environmental impact of any eating pattern.
