veganism: I consider it to be a diet. (Not trying to offend any vegans, just looking for other opinions)|||Choice|||Veganism is a lifestyle choice Otherwise it is considered strict vegetarianism. I only say this because it is not limited to what you eat, but what one wears, what medications one takes, what one uses to bath with and basically everything in one's life.|||It really depends on the person, if they change due to a belief than it's a lifestyle choice. If they change just because they don't want to eat meat anymore, or if they think it will make them feel better than it's a diet.|||For some it is a diet and others see it as a lifestyle... you have to look at the individual who is vegan rather than just what they eat... are they looking to lose weight? Or do they truly believe in saving the animals and all of that...|||It is by definition a lifestyle. I think you must be confused with strict vegetarianism. Strict vegetarianism: not EATING any animal products Veganism: not USING any animal products as far as possible, not in any way limited to diet.|||As per the widely accepted definition, veganism is a lifestyle. The dietary component of veganism is called strict vegetarian.|||lifestyle.|||lifestyle for me
