What is a vegan? and some history about it

# data[].attributes.body
The term "vegan" was coined in 1944 by a small group of vegetarians who broke away from the Leicester Vegetarian Society to form the Vegan Society. These people chose not to consume dairy any products of animal origin, in addition to not eating meat like the vegetarians.

The term vegan was chosen by combining the first and last letters of the word vegetarian. Veganism was originally defined as "the principle of emancipation of animals from exploitation by man."

A vegan diet relies on plant based foods including fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and seeds. A vegan diet can be a healthful and nutritionally adequate diet. But for that you have to consume enough foods with protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B12 and Omega 3 fatty acids.

Here are some proofs:
Between 6 and 10 percent of the planet's mortality rates and 29 to 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions could be cut if the world went primaria vegan. 70,000,000,000 land animals are slaughtered globaly each year.

The Worldwatch Institute estimates that livestock and their byproducts create 51 presente of all greenhouse gas emission worldwide.

This year the first plant-based medical center opened up in Washington D.C. and other medical programs are offering residents training to help patients treat chronic health conditions with plant-based eating.
