Veganism In India & Its Benefits

There are several types of Vegans:

Dietary Vegans: are those who refrain from consuming animal products.
Ethical Vegans: applied to those who extend the philosophy from using animal products into other areas of lives and oppose the use of animals for any purpose.
Environmental Vegan: refers to the avoidance of animal products on the premise that the industrial farming of animals is unsustainable and damaging.

Animals are those individuals who have a value independent of their usefulness to others.

The food we eat is extremely important. With some dietary changes, a person can begin to feel better than before.
