Short answers to the questions people actually ask — from honey and B12 to kebab shops.
Basics
Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude — as far as possible and practicable — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
Ingredients and products
No. Honey is made by bees as a food store for the hive. Veganism excludes animal products – including beeswax, propolis and pollen. Swaps: maple, date or agave syrup.
Nutrition
Yes. B12 is not reliably present in unfortified plant foods. Reliable sources are a supplement and fortified foods (some plant drinks, cereals, fortified nutritional yeast).
Nutrition
From pulses, soy (tofu, tempeh, soy drink), seitan, nuts, seeds and grains. With a varied diet and enough calories, protein deficiency in vegans is rare. You do not need to combine “complete protein” at every meal – variety over the day is enough.
Ingredients and products
It depends on fining. Grapes are plants, but wine may be fined with egg white, casein, gelatin or isinglass. Vegan wines use bentonite, carbon, or no fining, plus a vegan mark.
Ethics and environment
Plants respond to stimuli but have no nervous system or brain. Even if they “felt”, a meat diet uses more plants (as feed) than a vegan diet. The argument does not cancel reducing animal suffering.
Eating out
Falafel, if it is fried without lard and not egg-battered. Ask about the sauce (garlic sauce is often yoghurt or mayo) and whether the grill is shared with meat. More Polish kebab shops now offer falafel and seitan.
Shopping and labels
The staples — groats, lentils, cabbage, potatoes, pasta, apples — are cheaper than meat. Ready-made swaps (cheese, deli slices) cost more. You can eat vegan cheaply or expensively, like any diet.
