It is more of an individual choice and how a person chooses to interpret its ethical implications. Although the vegan society of England defined veganism as \"<em>the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals</em>\" in 1951, but as of know the idea has spread and evolved and spread without a explicitly defined philosophy. </p>\n<p>That being said, there are some defined areas from where we can get a rough sketch of the ethics involved in veganism. Here is a list:</p>\n<p>1. <strong>Dietary Vegans</strong> are the ones who avoid all animal products and derived substances in their diet. They do it as a way to stay healthy as they believe that vegan food provides the best all-round nutrition for humans. </p>\n<p>2. <strong>Ethical Vegans</strong> extend their philosophy further towards the moral implication of taking/directly using animal life for food is not just.</p>\n<p>3.<strong> Environmental Vegans</strong> believe that farming animals for food is simply an unsustainable endeavor as it will fail the continuously growing demand in the future. They also claim that animal farming is damaging for environment. </p>\n<p>4. <strong>Religious Vegans</strong> are required by their religion to abstain from animal products. It may be permanent or during certain periods of a year.</p>\n<p><u>Note:</u> Please note that my answer is not for merits/demerits of veganism. It is an individual choice and some people do it for ethical reasons and some do it merely as a fashion statement. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk2sv8d8x","appParentAuthor":"birapada","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
