Which dietary pattern involves no animal products at all?

• A. Vegetarianism
• B. Pescatarianism
• C. Flexitarianism
• D. Veganism

Answer: (D)

Veganism is defined by excluding all animal-derived foods and products from the diet and lifestyle. It goes beyond just not eating meat or fish to eliminate dairy, eggs, and many other animal-derived ingredients; some vegans also avoid honey. This differs from vegetarianism, which omits meat but allows dairy and/or eggs; pescatarianism includes fish; and flexitarianism is mostly plant-based with occasional animal foods. So the pattern with no animal products at all is veganism.
