Veganism is defined as the following of a diet that contains no animal products. This definition seems straight forward, but in reality there are two forms of veganisms. The traditional vegan is one who consumes whole foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and other non animal produce that is readily available worldwide and which has traditionally been a staple part of all human diets. In essence such a traditional vegans eats traditional foods, and in some respects such a diet can be considered high quality. The second type of veganism is one who likely becomes vegan for fashion reasons and who bases their diet on the nouveau forms of vegan food. These foods are recipe foods manufactured in wasteful packaging that contains a large number of ingredients, often of low quality origins. Such a diet is no better for the health than a junk food diet, as it tends to be high in sugar, high in fat and also is wasteful and therefore damaging to the environment. It is also an expensive endeavour with processed vegan foods being of high cost.
