| How we
define vegetarianism |
Top |
Vegetarian Action defines vegetarianism as:
- an exclusively plant-based diet consisting of grains, legumes,
nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables, which may be modified to include
dairy products, eggs and honey, as in variants such as lacto-ovo
vegetarianism
- a lifestyle based on adherence to a vegetarian diet and which
may also involve other practices, such as the use of non animal-derived
products for clothing and other purposes, and the avoidance of
products or activities involving use or misuse of animals
Vegetarian Action is driven by a vision of:
- more people becoming and staying vegetarian,
- more people knowing more about how a plant versus a animal-based
diet is better for the environment, health, animal welfare, and
world hunger, and
- greater recognition and implementation of vegetarianism at
a social and political level.
Vegetarian Action works towards its vision by:
- campaigning, informing and educating to raise awareness about
vegetarianism and its advantages for the environment, health,
animal welfare, and world hunger
- educating about the fundamentals of a nutritionally sound vegetarian
diet
- supporting people to become and stay vegetarian
- supporting locally available vegetarian choices
- encouraging the research, study and application of animal-free
alternatives for food, clothing and other purposes, and of alternatives
to products or activities involving the use or misuse of animals
- lobbying for recognition and implementation of vegetarianism
at a social and political level
- cooperating with organisations with related aims
- fund raising to finance Vegetarian Action's work towards these
objectives
