According to Wikipedia:
<< Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan. Distinctions may be made between several categories of veganism. Dietary vegans (also known as “strict vegetarians”) refrain from consuming meat, eggs, dairy products, and any other animal-derived substances. An ethical vegan (also known as a “moral vegetarian”) is someone who not only follows a vegan diet but extends the philosophy into other areas of their lives and opposes the use of animals for any purpose. Another term is “environmental veganism”, which refers to the avoidance of animal products on the premise that the industrial farming of animals is environmentally damaging and unsustainable.>>

Like the smart-shopping.net site being dedicated to encouraging ways of living more in harmony with nature, animals and the planet, veganism is for us an important doctrine to make known.
The aim here is not to convert people 100% overnight, nor to condemn them to eat animal products, but to make them aware of the existence of other possibilities. Convincing with good arguments is always preferable, because that is what usually advances long-term causes! And to try it is often to adopt it! Explore, and have fun discovering the world of veganism!
