纯素主义或全素主義（英語：Veganism），有時音譯為維根主義，是一種哲学和生活方式，志在盡可能排除對動物的剝削與虐待，反对动物作为商品（英语：Commodity status of animals）的现状。[c]该主义反对食用動物或動物身上的部分（包含肉類、魚類、甲殼類及昆蟲）、奶製品（如起司）、蛋、蜂蜜、鵝肝醬等；反对購買動物或參與傷害動物的消費行為，如：消費支持海生館、動物園、馬戲團，或其他形式的動物展演；並避免使用來自動物，或會造成動物痛苦的產品，如皮草、皮革、羊毛、羽絨、蠶絲、經動物實驗之產品。
哲學家 Gary Steiner提到「不可能達到完全的純素主義，因動物和他們的產品已深深地交織於人類社會中」，動物產品包括白蛋白、尿囊素、蜂蠟、血液、骨炭、骨瓷器、胭脂紅、酪蛋白、海貍、胭脂蟲、彈性蛋白、鴯鶓油、明膠、蜂蜜、魚膠、角蛋白、乳酸、綿羊霜、豬油、凝乳酶、視黃醛、蟲膠、角鯊烯、動物性脂肪、乳清、黃牛油，其中有些來源也可是化學合成、植物製造或石化提煉，所以像尿囊素、乳酸、視黃醛、角鯊烯等也有可能符合純素主義。素食者會使用動物堆肥為養分，然而純素主義者的食物要求只使用植物堆肥。
^Other common but less frequent pronunciations recorded by the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and the Random House Dictionary are /ˈveɪɡən/ and /ˈvɛdʒən/.[1][2] The word was coined in Britain by Donald Watson, who preferred the pronunciation /ˈviːɡən/,[3] and the 1997 edition of the Random House Dictionary reported that this pronunciation was considered "especially British" and that /ˈvɛdʒən/ was the most frequent and only other common American pronunciation.[4]
^"[Al-Maʿarri's] diet was extremely frugal, consisting chiefly of lentils, with figs for sweet; and, very unusually for a Muslim, he was not only a vegetarian, but a vegan who abstained from meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, and honey, because he did not want to kill or hurt animals, or deprive them of their food."[5]
^For veganism and animals as commodities:
Helena Pedersen, Vasile Staescu (The Rise of Critical Animal Studies, 2014): "[W]e are vegan because we are ethically opposed to the notion that life (human or otherwise) can, or should, ever be rendered as a buyable or sellable commodity."[12]Gary Steiner (Animals and the Limits of Postmodernism, 2013): " ... ethical veganism, the principle that we ought as far as possible to eschew the use of animals as sources of food, labour, entertainment and the like ... [This means that animals] ... are entitled not to be eaten, used as forced field labor, experimented upon, killed for materials to make clothing and other commodities of use to human beings, or held captive as entertainment."[13]
Gary Francione ("Animal Welfare, Happy Meat and Veganism as the Moral Baseline", 2012): "Ethical veganism is the personal rejection of the commodity status of nonhuman animals ..."[14]
^Laura Wright（英语：Laura Wright (academic)） (The Vegan Studies Project, 2015): "【维根协会】的定义过于简化纯素主义，假定了所有纯素主义者都是由于伦理原因而选择純素生活。这可能是大部分的情况，但由于健康和宗教原因选择纯素主义的人也不该被忽略。纯素主义作为饮食和生活方式确实是基于是人们消费的物质定义，但背后的原因也是“纯素主义者”身份的重要一环。"[15]
Brenda Davis, Vesanto Melina（英语：Vesanto Melina） (Becoming Vegan, 2013): "There are degrees of veganism. A pure vegetarian or dietary vegan is someone who consumes a vegan diet but doesn't lead a vegan lifestyle. Pure vegetarians may use animal products, support the use of animals in research, wear leather clothing, or have no objection to the exploitation of animals for entertainment. They are mostly motivated by personal health concerns rather than by ethical objections. Some may adopt a more vegan lifestyle as they are exposed to vegan philosophy."[16]
Laura H. Kahn, Michael S. Bruner ("Politics on Your Plate", 2012): "A vegetarian is a person who abstains from eating NHA [non-human animal] flesh of any kind. A vegan goes further, abstaining from eating anything made from NHA. Thus, a vegan does not consume eggs and dairy foods. Going beyond dietary veganism, 'lifestyle' vegans also refrain from using leather, wool or any NHA-derived ingredient."[17]
Vegetarian and vegan diets may be referred to as plant-based and vegan diets as entirely plant-based.[18]
^Gary Francione (The Animal Rights Debate, 2010): "Although veganism may represent a matter of diet or lifestyle for some, ethical veganism is a profound moral and political commitment to abolition on the individual level and extends not only to matters of food but also to the wearing or using of animal products."[19]:62 This terminology is controversial within the vegan community. While some vegan leaders, such as Karen Dawn, endorse efforts to avoid animal consumption for any reason; others, including Francione, believe that veganism must be part of an holistic ethical and political movement in order to support animal liberation. Accordingly, the latter group rejects the label "dietary vegan", referring instead to "strict vegetarians", "pure vegetarians", or followers of a plant-based diet.[20]
^American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics（英语：Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics） (2009): "It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes."[22]
^The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung, 2016: "The DGE does not recommend a vegan diet for pregnant women, lactating women, infants, children or adolescents."[27]
^Winston J. Craig (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition（英语：The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition）, 2009): "Vegan diets are usually higher in dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, vitamins C and E, iron, and phytochemicals, and they tend to be lower in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol, long-chain n–3 (omega-3) fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B-12. ... A vegan diet appears to be useful for increasing the intake of protective nutrients and phytochemicals and for minimizing the intake of dietary factors implicated in several chronic diseases."[30]

Stop eating the ocean. Don't eat anything out of the ocean – there is no such thing as a sustainable fishery. If people eat meat, make sure it's organic and isn't contributing to the destruction of the ocean because 40 percent of all the fish that's caught out of the ocean is fed to livestock – chickens on factory farms are fed fish meal. And be cognizant of the fact that if the oceans die, we die. Therefore our ultimate responsibility is to protect biodiversity in our world's oceans.
