Two Terms, One Movement — But They're Not the Same
You've likely seen both 'vegan' and 'plant-based' used everywhere. They're often used interchangeably, but they mean quite different things.
What Does 'Vegan' Mean?
Veganism is a lifestyle and ethical philosophy that seeks to exclude all forms of animal exploitation — for food, clothing, cosmetics, and beyond. A vegan diet excludes all animal products: no meat, dairy, eggs, or honey.
What Does 'Plant-Based' Mean?
A plant-based diet focuses on whole, minimally processed plant foods. People who eat plant-based may occasionally consume small amounts of animal products. The focus is on health and nutrition rather than ethics.
Key Differences at a Glance
- Vegan: ethical, lifestyle-wide, strictly no animal products
- Plant-based: primarily dietary, health-focused, may allow some animal products
- Both: benefit from quality plant-powered products
