VEGAN NEWS, PROFILES, AND MUCH MORE!
Breaking vegan news. Vegan is the practice of going through life without exploiting, abusing, or killing animals for food or drink. Vegans opt to consume fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains, which exist in many thousands of varieties offering far more choices than a diet based on killing half a dozen animal species, mainly chickens, cows, pigs, turkeys, goats, and lambs. Vegans do not steal the mother’s milk of another species to drink it or turn it into cheese or ice cream. They also generally shun leather, fur, silk, wool, and other products made from the exploitation, abuse, and murder of animals. Because they’re concerned about cruelty to animals, vegans also tend to avoid products that are heavy on chemicals or tested on animals.
VEGAN ALTERNATIVES
There are now delicious alternatives to every imaginable animal and dairy product. Plant-based products are an extraordinarily fast-growing sector of the food industry. In fact, veganism is stronger than ever, and visiting any grocery store you’ll see this for yourself find a vast variety of non-dairy ice cream, milk and cheese alternatives, veggie burgers, veggie nuggets, veggie dogs, and other mock meats.
