I'm thinking about becoming a vegan, but I'm sure exactly what it means. Can you help?
Surely!  It's actually the practice of leaving out animal products in your food.  It's a practice that rejects the status of animals as commodities.
Do vegans usually consume dairy products or fish?
Well there are distinctions between several categories of veganism.  Some can eat Fish, while other abstain from all meat.
Okay, I gotcha! It seems like it would be pretty healthy to go vegan, is that right?
Well it's an interesting philosophy.  There are certain nutrients and essential nutrition that comes from consuming meat.  Each person has a historical dna record of what their ancestors have eaten and that type of diet is what should be consumed.
