Vegetarianism, also known as veganism, is a dietary practice that excludes all animal products, including meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. It is a lifestyle choice that is often adopted for ethical, environmental, or health reasons. The term "vegetarianism" is derived from the Latin word "vegetus" meaning "whole, fresh, or lively," suggesting a vibrant and healthy way of living. This ancient practice has gained modern traction with a growing number of people embracing plant-based diets and recognizing the benefits it brings to their health, the environment, and animal welfare.
