Can you tell me what the major beliefs held by vegans are?
<|assistant|>
Vegans do not consume any animal-based products, and usually avoid all animal-derived substances. Their diet is primarily comprised of grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and plant-based substances. They generally strive to reduce their environmental impact, including reducing waste and promoting animal welfare. They are often opposed to the use of animal testing, slavery, and animal farming, and advocate for a cruelty-free lifestyle.
