The term “vegan” was first fabricated in 1944 and is called to whom neither eat meat or any part of animals nor any products from animal origins such as eggs, milk, skin, leather, chicken, fish, dairy, honey, and animal-derived ingredients, such as albumin, casein, carmine, gelatin, pepsin, shellac, isinglass, and whey. Instead, they eat beans, lentils, nuts, fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, and dried vegetables.
The natural produced dried fruits, dried vegetables, and nuts of Foodlord Company are a good suggestion for the vegans.
Generally, they have the rule of considering the animals’ rights and not exploit them in food cloth, industry, and so on. Veganism is a lifestyle with environmental, ethical, and health aspects. Ethically, they believe that all animals have the right to live and it is not ethical to kill animals to use their bodies. In addition, animals should have enough space to live freely and not in livestock and congestion. Health is an important aspect for vegans because a plant-based diet reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes type II, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and weight control. The animal husbandry to produce more meat and other animal-based products has hazardous impacts on the environment. For example, 65% of global nitrogen, 35-40% of CH4, and 9% of CO2 emissions are caused by animal husbandry. In addition, a great amount of water is consumed and the forest is damaged by animal husbandry. Therefore, veganism diet reduces these hazardous impacts on the environment.
