What is Veganism?
Big Bite Fest celebrates vegan living. You do not need to be vegan to attend and enjoy the Festival. But what is veganism about?
​
Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.
​
By extension, it promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment.
​
There are many ways to embrace vegan living. Yet one thing all vegans have in common is a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish and insects), dairy, eggs and honey, as well as avoiding animal-derived materials like skin leathers, products tested on animals and places that use animals for entertainment.
