Vegans do not eat any animal products at all. That means they do not eat meat, eggs, fish, milk, cheese, or even sometimes honey.The vegan lifestyle also includes not buying or wearing products made from animals. They choose synthetic fibers or plant fibers instead.http://eternalspiralbooks.com/courses/course/vegetarian-vegan-1012

Downsides to a Vegan DietThe biggest challenge
is to consume enough essential amino acids and protein.
Vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D are other common nutrients absent from vegan diets.
This is easily taken care of by taking supplements or by consuming enriched foods.
Get 15 minutes of sun per day for more vitamin D.

The Environmental BenefitsAbout a third of all raw materials and half of the water used in the United States is required to raise animals for food.
By reducing the amount of animal food products you consume, you’re helping to improve the environment not just in the US, but all over the world.
