What is a vegan?

Vegans do not eat meat, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, milk and cheese. Most vegans do not consider honey to be vegan (Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe will not sell items with honey). Most vegans do not wear animal products, including leather, fur, silk and wool (Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe will not sell any item that contain leather, fur, silk and wool). Most vegans do not use shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, razors, perfumes, household cleaners and makeups that are tested on animals or contain animal products (Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe will not sell any item that is tested on animals). Most people decide to go vegan for either ethical, environmental or health issues.
