Veganism is a doctrine or philosophy of life that refuses to see animals as products for consumption, whether as food, clothing, or any other use that humans have put it to. They support their position with ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian arguments, and in the case of food, they propose alternatives to replace meat, eggs, dairy products and animal derivatives with exclusively plant-based products.
