veganism
No animal products
Veganism is the practice of avoiding all animal products—not just meat but also dairy, eggs, leather, and other animal-derived materials.
Where vegetarianism excludes only flesh, veganism extends the principle to anything that comes from animals.
The term covers both diet and broader lifestyle choices, often motivated by ethics, environmental concerns, or health: She adopted veganism after watching a documentary about factory farming.
