What is Veganism?

Veganism has been called many things by many people since it was first formally introduced in 1944. Some see it as a form of religion while others consider it as a type of diet. Many relate it to animal activism. In truth, it is all of these rolled into one. The founding society of veganism - the Vegan Society in England, defines veganism as a way of living which excludes all forms of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. Its “religious” aspect is based on a philosophy proposed by vegan authorities that has been accepted in faith by its practitioners. Its dietary aspect is based on the exclusion of meat and other ingredients or substances derived from animals for use in food. The animal activism aspect questions the use of animals to serve the en...

Vegan Christmas Dinner

A Vegan Christmas need not be very different from the traditional Christmas enjoyed by most people. The choice for a vegan way of life is not a reason to stay away from family and friends who may have differing views. Holidays are always best spent together with those we love regardless of the lifestyle choices we make. In order to appreciate what a Vegan Christmas looks and feels like, we need to understand the principles of veganism. Veganism espouses the elimination of use of animal products. Dietary vegans apply this practice on their diet only while ethical vegans apply the practice in all aspects of life including clothes, cosmetics, and even in forms of entertainment, among many. Vegans are also guided by the concept of avoiding violence against living things. If we think ...

Vegan Cooking Schools

One can only truly enjoy the vegan offering if a certain level of knowledge and skill is acquired in cooking and preparing vegan foods. This advantage will provide greater opportunities for variation and innovation so as to help keep vegans on track and avoid backsliding to previous eating practices. Choosing the right vegan school can make the difference. Most active vegan schools are typically vegetarian schools as well although there are schools that offer exclusive vegan training only. Lessons can vary from single meal courses to serious vegan cooking training. The chosen school should be able to provide the student precisely what is needed so as not to defeat the purpose of learning. Students for their part should have a clear idea of what they want to achieve. Some s...

Vegan Organizations

The Vegan Society is the very first registered organization of its kind.  Although founded in England in 1944, it does not usually annex the word “British” or “UK” to its name.  Such words are typically added to differentiate it from the other vegan societies established in other parts of the world.  It was founded by Donald Watson and Elsie “Sally” Shrigley, along with 23 other founding members.  Its present headquarter is located at Birmingham, England. The annual celebration of World Vegan Day coincides with the founding of the Vegan Society in November 1.  This celebration was initiated by the then society president – Louise Wallis.  Watson is credited for coining the term “vegan”. The Vegan Society conducts its activities to include information dissemination through its of...

Famous Vegan People

Famous personalities have a way of easing a relatively unknown practice into public acceptance.  Although success is ultimately determined by what is actually being offered, the public will always be interested of whom among the “who’s who” are into what.  It is no different in the topic of veganism. The list of vegan practitioners transcends cultures, gender, career and age.  It includes film, stage, TV, and radio personalities; politicians and statespersons; engineers, scientists and medical professionals; models and photographers; singers, musicians and composers; activists and environmentalists; sports personalities; business people; and theologians, spiritualists and religious leaders.  Some are dietary vegan practitioners who conform to the prescribed dietary consideration...

Vegan Essentials or simply Vegan-E is all about a vegetarian way of life that seeks to equalize how living things share the world we call Earth.  Veganism (vegetarianism) puts forward an option where animals and other living species are given the same importance as humans in their right not to be used for the sole advantage of a specific specie.  In essence, Vegan-E will remind us that humans can still enjoy the good things in life without causing unnecessary suffering to members of the animal specie and damage to the environment.

Vegan-E.com offers a comprehensive understanding of veganism from its beginnings, its philosophy, its practitioners, its proponents, and all the other relevant aspects that comprise its wholeness.  We actively support vegetarianism and its development as a mainstream lifestyle which we envision would be the general rule rather than an exception.  Our vegetarian followers will be provided access to an unlimited assortment of vegetarian recipes that will make help their conversion to a healthy lifestyle a lot easier and more fun.  Our free newsletter ensures that you will never miss a recipe provided in our website as well as provide you recipe variations you never thought possible.  You will find more and more reasons to stick with veganism to attain healthy living.
