Veganism is a lifestyle characterized by abstaining from the use or ingestion of animal products and by avoiding the use of products that have been tested on animals. Individuals become vegans for a number of reasons; to support animal rights, for health benefits, for moral, ethical, religious and/or spiritual reasons, for political reasons, and/or environmental concerns.
A Time/CNN poll published in Time Magazine on July 7, 2002 found that 4% of American adults consider themselves vegetarians, and 5% of self-described vegetarians consider themselves vegans. This suggests that 0.2% of American adults are vegans. A 2000 poll suggested closer to 0.9% of the adult American population may be vegan. [HTTP ] In the UK, research showed that 0.4%, approximately 250,000 people, were vegan in 2001. [HTTP ]
