Vegan is a person who does n’t eat food or products of animal origin, the same as vegetarians, but a difference between them is that Lacto ovo vegetarians do not eat animal meat but consume eggs, dairy products such as cheese, butter, and use honey.

Veganism is much stricter, do not consume products of animal origin including eggs, milk or honey.

The concept of veganism dates from the time of the 40s, in 1944 the British Donald Watson, founded the Vegan Society, he is the one who created the philosophy of veganism, he had observed these customs since he was a child who grew up on a farm and He didn’t consume anything that came from animal origin, he hated to see animals suffer so he decided to avoid eating them and avoid using anything coming from them to avoid that suffering.

People can decide to become Vegan for a variety of reasons, some do so because they suffer some allergy or intolerance to certain foods and consuming natural plant products helps them avoid those problems, other people become Vegan to avoid suffering of animals , even do not use skins or any object from animal origin, and think that eating or destroying animals causes serious damage to the nature.
