Basics of veganism

Before delving deeper into the vegan dietary form, we will clarify important basic concepts. The classification of living beings based on their eating habits begins with distinguishing between Omnivores, Carnivores, and Herbivores.

The dietary forms of humans (Omnivores) are further divided into self-chosen dietary forms: Flexitarians predominantly follow a vegetarian diet but also consume meat and fish. Pescatarians are vegetarians who additionally include fish in their diet. Vegetarians strictly adhere to a vegetarian diet, meaning they abstain from all animal products (meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, honey, gelatin, etc.). Vegans adhere to the strictest dietary form. They exclusively consume plant-based foods and refrain from all products of animal origin.

The human development regarding nutrition is also closely examined in this subject. This includes, for example, the influence of nutrition on the brain and body structure or the physiology of digestion.
