Why Veganism The Health Benefits And The Ethical Based Reasons of Vegan Diet - Sam Dickinson
Introduction
While the concept of vegetarianism can be traced back to ancient Greece, in particular to Pythagoras and his followers, the history of veganism is seemingly far more recent. Presenting as a stricter branch of vegetarianism, ‘veganism’ caught the attention of Donald Watson and Elsie Shrigley. The idea of a non-dairy vegetarian diet had previously been proposed numerous times by members of the Vegetarian Society in London, who argued that much harm came to animals as a consequence of dairy production and egg farming. Attempting to bring the issue to the forefront, Watson and along with his wife Dorothy, Shrigley, and three friends who advocated for a non-dairy vegetarian, formed a new society in London in 1944, soon to be called the The Vegan Society.
In the first Vegan Newsletter, Watson wrote:
We should all consider carefully what our Group, and our magazine, and ourselves, shall be called. ‘Non-diary’ has become established as a generally understood colloquialism, but like ‘non-Lacto’ it is too negative. Moreover it does not imply that we are opposed to the use of eggs as foods. We need a name that suggests what we do eat, and if possible one that conveys the idea that even with all animal foods taboo, Nature still offers us a bewildering assortment from which to choose. ‘Vegetarian’ and ‘Fruitarian’ are already associated with societies that allow the ‘fruits’(!) of cows and fowls, therefore it seems we must make a new and appropriate word.
In an attempt to adopt a name for this new movement, Watson coined the term vegan,
combining the beginning and ending of the word, vegetarian
– symbolizing the transition to veganism, which starts with vegetarianism and is carried only to its rational foremost conclusion, the elimination of animal products from one’s diet as explained by Watson. The pronunciation is ‘VEEGAN’ not ‘VAI-GAN,’ ‘VEGGAN,’ or ‘VEEJAN.’ The stress is on the first syllable.
Greatly influenced by the vegan movement in Britain and Donald Watson’s philosophy to prevent any harm to living creatures, Hom Jay Dinshah founded the American Vegan Society in 1960.
Just as any movement progresses, the beliefs, causes, and ideals behind veganism grew in strength and number. Veganism was initially a shift to eliminate dairy from the vegetarian diet. Today, a vegan is defined as a strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products
as well as one who abstains from using animal products,
extending beyond merely dietary exclusions. Such forbidden foods include eggs, honey, and gelatin, while animal products such as leather, wool, fur, and silk are excluded from clothing and upholstery. In other words, veganism is no longer simply a diet, but also a lifestyle, a key aspect that often goes unnoticed today. The American Vegan society proclaims vegans to live on products of the plant kingdom
as veganism is compassion in action. It is a philosophy, diet, and lifestyle.
However, the reasons for becoming vegan are numerous and varied.
Background to the Research Problem: Intellectual Framework
The vegan diet is becoming more popular today – even celebrities and those in the spotlight are making the decision to become vegan. With growing interest in the diet, whether among those interested in making the transition to veganism or those just simply wanting to access more information, accurate portrayals of the diet are necessary. Easy access to information about the vegan diet can be obtained simply by searching online using one of the many search engines. However, this still begs the question as to whether a popular literature search such as this will provide a full picture of the vegan diet – including the more scientific or medical perspective on a diet that, to many, is worrisome due to the elimination of staple foods. That is, can a popular literature search find scientific details about the vegan diet that provide information about the health benefits, noteworthy concerns, and actual nutrient composition?
This question is raised given the inherent differences between popular
