Is semi sweet chocolate vegan?
Vegans are people who for some reason, be it ethical or dietary reasons have sworn off the use and consumption of all animals and animal by-products. The term ”vegan” was coined in 1944 by Donald Watson, the founder of the British Vegan Society. Veganism is linked to the Jainist and Buddhist concept of ahimsa, which is the avoidance of violence against living things. The vegan movement in the United States is small but growing steadily in both popularity and legitimacy. A well planned vegan diet can help prevent obesity, cancer, heart and renal diseases, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis.
