American Veganism Examples

American Veganism is a subculture that promotes a vegan diet and lifestyle, no food or byproduct from an animal, as well as encouraging others not to take part in behavior that leads to animals abuse directly or indirectly. “Being Vegan means avoiding animal products to the greatest extent possible, not because of some conception of personal purity, but because ethical Vegans live their politics every single day as a form of protest against the use and abuse of animals for human ends.” (Torres 10)
Veganism challenges the widely accepted idea that the lives of animals are insignificant enough to end for food and enjoyment. While vegans disapprove of eating meat, they also disapprove of other events that abuse animals like chicken fighting, horse races and bull fighting. In addition to that veganism also challenges the mainstream belief that the human diet needs animal products and byproducts to live healthy lives. Currently there is no concrete evidence that a vegan diet is inferior than non-vegan diets or that vegan diets are detrimental to a person’s health when done right.
