Veganism is both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals.

A follower of either the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan (pronounced).

Whole foods are foods that are unprocessed and unrefined, or processed and refined as little as possible, before being consumed.

Examples of whole foods include unpolished grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, and animal products, including meats and non-homogenized dairy products.

The earliest use of the term in the post-industrial age appears to be in 1946 in The Farmer, a quarterly magazine published and edited from his farm by F. Newman Turner, a writer and pioneering organic farmer.

The magazine sponsored the establishment of the Producer Consumer Whole Food Society Ltd, with Newman Turner as president and Derek Randal as vice-president.

Whole Food was defined as ‘Mature produce of field, orchard, or garden without subtraction, addition, or alteration grown from seed without chemical dressing, in fertile soil manured solely with animal and vegetable wastes, and composts therefrom, and ground, raw rock and without chemical manures, sprays, or insecticides’ Its principal aim was to act as a liaison between suppliers and the growing public demand for such food.

In 1960 the leading organic food organization called the Soil Association opened a shop in the name selling organic and whole grain products in London, UK.

A plant-based diet is a diet based on foods derived from plants, including vegetables, whole grains, legumes and fruits, but with few or no animal products.

The use of the phrase has changed over time, and examples can be found of the phrase "plant-based diet" being used to refer to vegan diets, which contain no food from animal sources, to vegetarian diets which include eggs and dairy but no meat, and to diets with varying amounts of animal-based foods, such as semi-vegetarian diets which contain small amounts of meat.

Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work.

Among English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to this meal or to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, porridge and sausage) served at any time of day.

The word literally refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night.

Dinner usually refers to the most significant and important meal of the day, which can be the noon or the evening meal.

However, the term "dinner" can have many different meanings depending on the culture; it may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of the day.

Historically, it referred to the first meal of the day, eaten around noon, and is still sometimes used for a noon-time meal, particularly if it is a large or main meal.

The meaning as the evening meal, generally the largest of the day, is becoming a standard in many parts of the English-speaking world.
