What is Vegan?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle that avoids using animals and animal products for food, clothing and other purposes. In practice, a vegan (an adherent to veganism) commits to the abstention from consumption or use of all animal products, including meat, fish, poultry, honey, eggs and dairy products, as well as articles made of fur, wool, bone, leather, feathers, pearls, mother of pearl, coral, and other materials of animal origin. Many vegans also avoid products that have been tested on animals. People who avoid eating all animal products, but who otherwise use animal by-products (for example, leather shoes) are commonly referred to as dietary vegans.

What is USDA Organic?





USDA Organic is a label regulated by the US Department of Agriculture which guarantees the labeled foods adhere to the organic standards. Organic operations must demonstrate that they are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances.

What is non-GMO?

In genetic modification (or engineering) of food plants, scientists remove one or more genes from the DNA of another organism, such as a bacterium, virus, or other plant or animal, and "recombine" them into the DNA of the plant they want to alter. By adding these new genes, genetic engineers hope the plant will express the traits associated with the genes, such as resistance to certain diseases or herbicides. Genetically Modified food plants include varieties of com, soybeans, sugar cane, tomatoes, sweet peppers, strawberries, bananas and others.

Genetic modification is not to be confused with plant breeding and hybridizing. Non-GMO foods are those which have not been altered through gene splicing. For more information: Natural Products Association.
