Veganism seems to be growing in popularity, it's the practice of abstaining from consuming animal products.
I see, and are you vegan?
I am not, but I've heard well-planned vegan diets can reduce the risk of some types of chronic disease, like heart disease.
I should probably try it since I do not want heart issues. When did veganism originate?
I'm not sure exactly, but I know that the vegan diet isn't necessarily recommended for everyone. The German Society for Nutrition doesn't recommend it for children for instance.
Yea children probably need healthy proteins. What else do you know about vegan diet?
I know that there is debate over whether it is appropriate for everyone, because the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics does believe it can be used during infancy and even pregnancy.
