Can anyone give me details on becoming vegan?!


Question: Can anyone give me details on becoming vegan!?
Im 16 yrs old and i want to become vegan!. I know that they are like the "hardcore" vegitarians but not much else!. Since vegans practically dont have anything to do with any animal products, what kind of clothes would that include!. Cause i want to be a vegan, but i just need to know what products from animals are used in clothes and such!. I know some about the food but any info about it would help!. Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Okay, first things first:
1!. read through this list!. tells you every nit-picky animal ingredient you should avoid in clothing, cosmetics, and a lot of foods besides the obvious milk-egg-meat-gelatin!.

2!. Here's a search for companies that do and do not test on animals!. Vegans also avoid these, I think!. From this site you can also download some lists!.

3!. Health advisory: talk to your doctor or nutritionist before going vegan!. I say this to every vegan, because dietitians know best when it comes to exactly what foods substitute well the little ingredients you might be missing without animal products!. also, the internet's great and you'll get a lot of advice here on Y!A and other websites!.

Vegans do not eat/use anything that comes from an animal as much as possible!. This would mean no wearing leather/silk/wool!.

I would suggest reading "Becoming Vegan" by Brenda Davis!.

These forums are also a good place for questions or support:
