World Vegan Month begins on November 1 each year. That month, herbivores from all over the world gather to celebrate their way of life. So what exactly defines a vegan? Veganism is a way of life that excludes all forms of cruelty to animals for food, products or any other purpose. There are many different ways to adopt a vegan lifestyle, but the basic “rule” is to eat a plant-based diet. Some vegans also go a step further than avoiding meat; they also avoid fish, dairy products, eggs and honey, as well as products like leather or fur. You might be thinking, "Well, then what can I eat?" Surprisingly, there are thousands of vegan recipes that are delicious and extremely nutritious.
The second and frequently asked question is: “Why would anyone choose the path of veganism?
The most common reply of people who do not eat meat is saving animals! Vegans neither appreciate the treatment of animals on farms, nor the killing of animals as soon as their production rate is reduced.
They believe that animal farming is taking a toll on land by contaminating aquatic ecosystems, soil and more.
Vegans say that research shows that consuming animal fats and proteins has been linked to heart disease, colon and lung cancer, diabetes, obesity and other debilitating conditions.
Many experts say a plant-based diet is often more effective than medicines or even medical procedures when it comes to treating the disease.
Adhering to a plant-based lifestyle helps you stay lean and vital. Vegans are the only group of people who on average have a normal and healthy BMI (body mass index) because they do not eat animal products that are calorie dense.
Animal products usually contain bacteria, antibiotics, hormones, dioxins and other toxins that can lead to health problems in humans. (This is one of the reasons why food poisoning is so common.)
You can try amazing new meals! There are more than 20,000 species of edible plants in the world. Believe it or not, prepared with the right spices and side dishes, these herbal dishes are delicious and satisfying.
It has never been so easy to be vegan. These days, most supermarkets have entire sections dedicated to the vegan lifestyle, including meat substitution options and delicious desserts
The Vegan Society first began as another branch of the Vegetarian Society in November 1944. However, in our research we were unable to find out who actually founded the World Vegan Month.
Happy day to you, dear vegans!
