* * VEGANISM * *
Veganism is the personal practice of eliminating the use of animal products for a plant based diet. Ethical Vegans, reject the commodity status of animals and the use of animal products for any purpose, while Dietary Vegans, or strict vegetarians eliminate them from their diet only. Another form, Environmental Veganism, rejects the use of animal products on the premise that the industrial practice is environmentally damaging and unsustainable. The term vegan was coined in England in 1944 by Donald Watson, co-founder of the British Vegan Society, to mean non-dairy vegetarian ; the society also opposed the use of eggs as food. It extended its definition in 1951 to mean the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals, and in 1960 H. Jay Dinshah started the American Vegan Society, linking veganism to the Jainist concept of Ahimsa, the avoidance of violence against living things. In 1997 three percent in the U.S. said they had not used animals for any purpose in the previous two years, and in 2007 two percent in the UK called themselves vegans. The number of vegan food resources and restaurants are increasing rapidly, and according to the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink, the top athletes in endurance sports, for example, the Iron-man triathlon and Ultra-marathon, are raw Vegan.
