Animal Products

Animal products are, as the name suggests, any product made from any species within the Kingdom Animalia, i.e., an animal.

Typically, the most common example would be meat, i.e., flesh or muscle tissue, which is consumed for food. Other animal products include dairy, eggs, bone, leather, animal-derived gelatin, rennet (an enzyme used for making cheese and tofu), and honey.

For most of human evolution, humans have gotten the majority of our dietary protein and fats from animals. {| class="article-table" ! colspan="2" |
