Don't be left hungry. Find a vegan restaurant before leaving home.
Vegan foods contain no animal products. This includes meat, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs or any food with traces of animal products, such as gelatin. Eating vegan outside the home can be difficult, as many dishes include animal products--even those labeled vegetarian. Since finding vegan food can be a challenge, planning is important.
