What Does a Vegan Eat? Read Vegan with a Vengeance: Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock

The vegan food pyramid is not a great deal different than a non-vegan food pyramid in terms of nutrition. However, where those nutrients come from is much different.

Animal-free diets can be extremely healthy as long as the nutritional balance indicated by the new food pyramid is adhered to through vegan foods.

For example, dairy products on the food pyramid represent the need for calcium. Calcium can be obtained through foods such as tofu, soy products, kale, and almond butter, as well as by taking a high quality calcium dietary supplement. Protein is obtained, not from meat, but from beans, tofu, nuts, peas, and tempeh. The same concepts apply to all the other necessary nutrients, including vitamins and minerals required by the human body.

The vegan dessert recipes included in the best selling vegan recipe book, "What Does a Vegan Eat" are extremely appealing.
