WHAT IS VEGANISM?

Coming back to London I am inundated with lots of new words and new ideas. I had never heard of veganism. I know vegetarian and organic but Veganism?? I decided to go and look this up in Wikipedia although I am not sure that what I read will be truly accurate. I have copied and pasted their definition of Veganism. Here we go Harry!!!

Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals.[b] A follower of the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan (/ˈviːɡən/VEE-gən).[c]

The Oxford Dictionary is more concise. This is their version:

A person who does not eat or use animal products.

I will take photos of places that claim to sell vegan food. I am not making a claim for veganism. I am just curious as to the concept of veganism. I hope that you are going to follow me in my journey of discovery.
