Scientists and nutritionists
sometimes call proteins "the building blocks of
life. All the tissues in your body -- skin, muscles,
organs -- and a large number of the chemicals that keep
your body running smoothly -- hormones, enzymes -- are
made up of different kinds of proteins.
"A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone who,
for various reasons, chooses to avoid using or consuming
animal products. While vegetarians choose not to use
flesh foods, vegans also avoid dairy and eggs, as
well as fur, leather, wool, down, and cosmetics or
chemical products tested on animals."
