What exactly are the rules of becoming a vegan?

Answer 1

eat meat

Answer 2

Vegans do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin. Many vegans also refrain from eating foods that are made using animal products that may not contain animal products in the finished process, such as sugar and some wines. Although there is some debate as to whether certain foods, such as honey, fit into a vegan diet, if you are cooking for other vegans, it is best to be on the side of caution and avoid using these foods.
Perhaps the most common question about veganism is “What do vegans eat?” A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits and the nearly infinite number of foods made by combining and preparing them. Many vegan versions of familiar foods are commercially available, which means you can purchase vegan hot dogs, ice cream, yogurt, cheese and mayonnaise.

Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool, whenever possible.

Answer 3

The basic *rule* is understanding that animals have better things to do than be locked up and tortured for the convenience of humans.

This would rule out
* Eating animal bodies
* Eating animal body derivatives such as glycerin
* Eating products that come from animals- milk, honey etc.
* Eating derivatives of products that come from animals -casein
* Wearing or using the skins or bodies or animals or products made by animals- E.g. leather, silk
* Using products made from or tested on animals- E.g.- makeups and cleaning products


Some people can do this within weeks of deciding to become vegan; others find the goal to be more attainable if they become vegetarian first and work there way up.

Answer 4

Vegans do not eat any animal products: meat, milk, honey, gelatin, eggs, cheese, or even french fries/potato chips fried in fat, they also do not use any products from animals: leather, lipstick with fish scales, and some vitamins even have oils derived from animal fat.

I've been a vegetarian for my whole life, my parents were and raised my sister and I that way. My sister tried to be a vegan at one point but it's very hard, you have to research what you eat closely, well I guess you should anyways.

Answer 5

A vegan-someone who eats no product that comes from an animal. For example, meat, eggs, honey, dairy...

Answer 6

No animal products whatsoever, this is, meat(obviously) milk, cheese, butter, eggs, and even honey. I am sure if you google Vegan you can find a list of vegan and non vegan foods.

Answer 7

You consume nothing that comes from animals: dairy, meat, seafood, honey, animal fats like lard, or eggs and anything else I might be leaving out. It's strictly grains(oatmeal, grits, rice, bread, etc.), veggies, fruits, tofu, nuts, vegetable oils, legumes and beans.

Answer 8

I really suggest picking up a few books on the subject...like this one: http://www.amazon.com/How-All-Vegan-Irresistible-Animal-Free/dp/1551520672
and http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Vegan-Complete-Adopting-Plant-Based/dp/1570671036/ref=pd_sim_b_4/103-4802415-3559815
There are many of them and after reading them and using the recipes, you will know exactly the foods to eat.

For starters though, stick with beans, grains, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds.

Answer 9

Eat nothing that came from an animal.

Answer 10

I don't know?

But I would imagine that number one would be...

No chasing cows through a field with a fork.
