A follower of veganism is known as a vegan. The term was coined by Donald Watson. The paper highlights the totality of this concept barring the intricacies of the nutritional aspects in detail.

Introduction Veganism is a practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and is also an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan. Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism. Dietary vegans (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animal products for any purpose.
