The Oxford English Dictionary published a new definition for veganism. Animal rights were top of the list. The main reasons for veganism are now health and the environment. Here is a closer look. The UK Vegan Society has a more traditional definition. It contains guidelines that will guide you to a vegan lifestyle.
Animal rights went back at the top of the Society
In the early years of the SPCA movement, the animal welfare movement focused on many fronts, primarily horse and dog welfare. The movement also focused on pet keeping education and urban animal control. This made it difficult for the SPCA to advocate against cruelty in all other contexts. In the 1970s, the SPCA began to concentrate more on animal welfare education and public education. The SPCA continues to play an important role in many aspects society today, including animal rights.
Veganism has two main motivations: health and the environment
Veggly recently conducted a survey that found health and the environment are the top motivations for veganism. In the past, vegans were motivated by animal welfare or the environment. Now, health and environment are seen as equally strong motivators than the previous three. Interestingly, 70% of vegans regard the environment as their number one priority.
Leslie Cross's letter
In Leslie Cross's letter on veganissm, he tries to redefine veganism. Watson stated that it is a lifestyle choice suitable for people with health and environmental issues, but Cross selectively cited his statements and made them seem distorted. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that Cross pushed for animal rights. He attempts to make veganism more radical and redefine it.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, veganism is defined as follows:
There are many different definitions for veganism. There is a belief-based as well as a practice based definition. Some people define veganism as a way of life that excludes the use of animals for labor or entertainment. Veganism may also be defined as living a life that is committed to the welfare of animals. Veganism can be defined in any case.
Newsletter from the UK Vegan Society
Newsletters of the UK Vegan Society date back to 1945. The UK Vegan Society's newsletter was first published in November 1944. The issue focuses on animal welfare. The newsletter's front cover is reminiscent in style of a horror magazine. It features animals being kept in experimental cages. Donald Watson, founder of the Society, is listed on its Board. However, there have been frequent disagreements and infighting within the group's board members. Many members of the UK Vegan Society engage in physical violence against each other.

Fat is an energy source that comes directly from food. Sugar is a sweet, naturally occurring substance in fruits and vegetables. Both sugars, and fats, have the same calories. But fats are twice as calories as sugars.
Fats are stored in the body and contribute to obesity. They can lead to cholesterol buildup in the arteries, which could cause heart attacks or strokes.
