Vegan Food

Vegan food does not incorporate any animal products at all; it avoids meat and fish as well as eggs, dairy, and sometimes honey depending on how strictly the cook defines veganism. Vegan food also avoids foods processed using animal products, such as white sugar (as bone char is used to bleach it) and beer and wine that is clarified with isinglass (derived from fish) or other animal proteins. Some vegans even avoid commercial bread, as the dough conditioner L-cysteine is made from human hair or duck feathers.

1. Veganism: Only plant-based foods
2. Raw Veganism: Plant-based foods that are raw, or cooked at a temperature below 115 degrees Farenheit
3. Fruitarianism: Ripe fruits of plants or trees only

Despite a healthy diet, sometimes vegans need to supplement certain nutrients, such as the following:

1. Vitamin B12
2. Vitamin D
3. Iodine
4. Omega-3 fatty acids
