Publisher's Synopsis
A vegan diet contains no animal products. Unlike some vegetarians, vegans don't eat eggs or dairy products. Those on a vegan diet also avoid animal-based ingredients like gelatin, which is made from bones and hides.Is being "plant-based" or vegetarian the same as being vegan? Not always. Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they mean different things.Also, a vegan or vegetarian diet is not automatically a nutritious diet. For instance, white bread, cane sugar, refined flour crackers, and desserts can all be vegan or vegetarian.
