What does it mean to ME to be Vegan

Let’s start with the vegan basic food guidelines.

The key to a nutritionally sound vegan diet is a variety of healthy whole foods. A healthy and varied vegan diet includes fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. I know this may not sound like a lot but trust me there are some pretty delicious foods out there that don’t consist of animal products.
