What is veganism?

Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle in which one avoids the exploitation and torture that the animals are subjected to for the sake of providing food, clothes, or other goods in the most practicable way.

Veganism also means supporting the use and developing of alternatives not involving the use of animals and for the benefit of humans, animals, and the environment. 

And in terms of nutrition, it means partially or totally rejecting food that is obtained from animals. 

Ayrıca veganlık, insanlar, hayvanlar ve çevrenin yararına, hayvan kullanımını içermeyen alternatiflerin geliştirilmesini ve kullanımını da desteklemek demek. (EMK/PE)
