Guide to Caribbean Vegan Diet Vincent Bronson

The term "vegan" was coined in 1944 by a small group of vegetarians who broke away from the Leicester Vegetarian Society in England to form the Vegan Society. They chose not to consume dairy, eggs, or any other products of animal origin, in addition to refraining from meat, as do vegetarians. The term "vegan" was chosen by combining the first and last letters of "vegetarian."Veganism is currently defined as a way of living that attempts to exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty, be it from food, clothing, or any other purpose. Ethical vegans strongly believe that all creatures have the right to life and freedom. Therefore, they oppose ending a conscious being's life simply to consume its flesh, drink its milk, or wear its skin - especially because alternatives are available. Ethical vegans are also opposed to the psychological and physical stress that animals may endure as a result of modern farming practices. For instance, ethical vegans deplore the small pens and cages in which many livestock live and often rarely leave between birth and slaughter. What's more, many vegans speak out against the farming industry's practices, such as the grinding of live male chicks by the egg industry or the force-feeding of ducks and geese for the foie gras market. Ethical vegans may demonstrate their opposition by protesting, raising awareness, and choosing products that don't involve animal agriculture.
