A vegan diet has no animal products. It is different from vegetarianism that avoids foods derived by killing animals alone. Vegans avoid all animal-derived products even if it does not involve the killing of animals.
 
Vegan diet avoids meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk, butter, cheese, gelatin, casein, honey and more. Honey obtained through commercial bee farming is not considered vegan as farmers employ various practices that are harmful to the bees. Gelatin is obtained from the skin, bones and ligaments of dead animals. Casein is derived from animal milk, a non-vegan food.
 
Vegans avoid all forms of animal products from their life. They do not use personal care products that are made using animal-derived ingredients. Also, they do not use cosmetics that come with non-vegan ingredients like beeswax. Footwear made of leather is also a misfit in the vegan way of life.
