Many people today accept and understand the concept of vegetarianism, those strange people who refuse to eat any meat or fish! It's a very popular diet amongst young people in Britain. Not as many people, however, understand the term VEGAN. People refuse to eat meat for a variety of reasons, but the most obvious one is because they believe it involves cruelty to animals either in the rearing process or the slaughter. Many people who are vegans believe that the use of animals to produce dairy products, such as milk, cheese and cream, also involves suffering and cruelty. There are, of course, people who refuse to eat meat and dairy products for health reasons, such as allergies. As a vegan, it can be quite difficult to eat out in restaurants, but cooking for yourself is easy. Watch out for our recipes in the next edition!
