Whilst both ‘plant-based’ and ‘vegan’ are often used interchangeably, there is a slight difference in definition. The term ‘vegan’ usually describes a lifestyle choice rather than simply a dietary one. A vegan will choose to exclude animal products from their lives for ethical and/or environmental reasons. This includes food and drink as well as lifestyle products (clothes, skincare, household cleaning, etc.). Whereas, if someone is plant-based, it usually means that they simply avoid animal products in order to focus on eating more healthy whole foods.
