While being vegan can help with weight loss, that is not the primary motivation for most vegans. The main reason people choose a vegan diet is due to concerns about animal welfare and rights. Vegans object not just to the killing of animals for food but also to the poor conditions animals are often kept in for producing meat, eggs and dairy. They believe animals should not be exploited and confined for human use and that humans have a moral responsibility to treat animals with the same consideration given to people. Adopting a vegan lifestyle is about more than just diet - it reflects a commitment to animal ethics and freedom.
