I believe veganism is also supposed to preclude the use of animal products that are not food, such as leather and fur.
My diet is largely vegetarian for health reasons. My health is fine, but why wait for a heart attack to make changes? Most of the cheese products I eat are soy-based or otherwise free of saturated fat. Red meat is out, thought there are days when I'd happily kill for a 32-oz steak. I eat a lot more fish than I used to, usually orange roughy, with has no saturated fat and is low in calories, too.
