There are many diets people follow, but veganism and vegetarianism are more than food choices -- they're a lifestyle. You've probably noticed that many of your friends are eating vegan or vegetarian. By becoming a vegetarian they are not consuming meat, poultry or fish.

And, 0.5 percent of young Americans are vegan.
