Concept

Vegan

Also known as: veganism, plant-based diet, plant-only diet

An eating pattern (and broader ethic) that excludes all animal products — meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey. Modern veganism was named in 1944 by Donald Watson when he and a small group split from the Vegetarian Society to draw a sharper line; the older root is millennia of Indian dharmic traditions practicing animal non-harm. Today veganism spans three overlapping motivations — ethical (animal welfare, *ahimsa*), ecological (land use, water, climate), and health (cardiovascular, longevity research). The vault carries veganism as one aligned dietary pattern among several, not as a required one — but vegan operators (bakeries, juice bars, produce delivery) are kin and listed as such.

Origins

The word vegan was coined by Donald Watson in November 1944, when he and a small group split from the UK Vegetarian Society to name a stricter practice — no dairy, no eggs, no honey. They formed the Vegan Society and shortened “vegetarian” to its first three and last two letters. Watson lived to 95 on the diet he named.

But veganism in practice is much older. Several Indian dharmic traditions — Jainism most strictly, parts of Buddhism, parts of Hinduism — have practiced animal [[ahimsa|non-harm]] ([[ahimsa]]) for over 2,500 years. Jain monks and nuns observe perhaps the strictest dietary ethics on Earth, avoiding root vegetables (which kill the plant) in addition to all animal products.

The modern Western framing layered ethics, health, and ecology onto that ancient root and made it broadly portable.

Three motivations

Most vegans hold some mix of:

Ethical — animals are sentient beings with their own interests; humans should not kill or use them when alternatives exist. Strongest expression: [[ahimsa]] traditions.
Ecological — animal agriculture (especially industrial) uses disproportionate land, water, and emissions per calorie or gram of protein. Reducing or eliminating animal products is one of the higher-impact personal climate moves.
Health — large epidemiological studies (Adventist Health Study, EPIC-Oxford) and intervention trials (Ornish, Esselstyn) show whole-food plant-based diets are associated with lower cardiovascular disease, lower diabetes incidence, often longer life.

The motivations are usually mixed. The split matters mostly when arguments arise — ethical vegans are not persuaded by health arguments and vice versa.

Whole-food vegan vs processed vegan

A meaningful internal distinction. Two patterns share the vegan label:

Whole-food plant-based — vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruit. Cooked at home or simply prepared. Overlaps with [[blue-zones]] patterns and the Pollan default.
Processed vegan — packaged meat-substitutes, ultra-processed dairy alternatives, vegan junk food. Technically vegan; nutritionally and ecologically much closer to ultra-processed than to whole-food.

The vault counts both as vegan. The first carries far more of the upstream alignment the vault cares about.

Nutritional considerations

Well-planned vegan diets can be nutritionally complete across the lifespan (American Dietetic Association, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics positions). The points that need attention:

Vitamin B12 — not reliably available in plant foods; supplement or fortified foods required
[[omega-3-fatty-acids|Omega-3]] (EPA/DHA) — algal oil supplements available; ALA from flax/chia/walnut converts inefficiently
Iron, zinc, calcium, iodine — adequate in well-planned diets; need attention
Protein quantity and amino acid variety — generally adequate from legumes + whole grains; high-activity or older adults benefit from being deliberate
Vitamin D — needed by most modern populations regardless of diet

Cultural dimensions

Vegan eating sits differently in different cultures. In India, vegetarian and near-vegan eating is mainstream and ancient; calling oneself “vegan” can feel like importing a Western label onto practice that already exists. In coastal Mediterranean and Asian cultures, near-vegetarian eating with occasional fish or eggs is traditional. In pastoralist cultures (Mongolian, Maasai, Sami), veganism is essentially impossible — animals are the food system.

The vault’s pluralism is not least about respecting all of these.

What the vault does with vegan operators

Vegan bakeries, vegan restaurants, vegan delivery services, and vegan farms get listed in the directory the same way other aligned operators do — by tier, by bioregion, with web verification. Examples currently on the surface: [[nishis-vegan-creations]] in Stroudsburg, [[raw-food-and-goods]] in the SF Bay Area.

Lenses still to grow

Specific large-cohort studies (Adventist Health Study 2, EPIC-Oxford, NutriNet-Santé) and what they actually found
The vegan/vegetarian boundary in dharmic traditions — Jain, Hindu, Buddhist nuance
Children, pregnancy, athletes — life-stage and high-demand vegan eating
Vegan-flexitarian gradient (reducetarian, plant-based-most-meals)
Operator-side: what makes a vegan business [[mission-district-sf|mission]]-aligned vs branded
