It is now widely accepted that the vegan diet is a healthy option for adults - if you still need convincing, have a look at our information on health and nutrition and check out all the famous sports people who have opted for a vegan diet whilst in training.
However, there is still a common misconception that children 'need meat and milk to help them grow'. The reality is that animal products can have a detrimental effect on children's health. In our families section, you'll find lots of information to help you raise healthy, happy vegan children. There's also a section just for kids, to help them learn more about vegan living.
But veganism is not just about what you eat. Animal ingredients are used in a whole range of products, from photographs and matches to washing up liquids and moisturisers. Have a look at our lifestyle section to see where else animal products are being used.
