Did you know that Israel is the country with the highest number of vegans per capita in the world? And the number is rising yearly. After becoming more sensitive to veganism people start to convert their entire restaurant in order to become vegan-friendly by offering completely meatless and dairy-free dishes. For instance, that’s exactly what Nana Shrier did. The popularity of veganism has risen to such a degree that even the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) started to offer vegan-friendly ration packs, non-leather boots and wool-less berets. Read on to learn how this country seems to favor veganism more than any country in the world.
“On a typical evening at Nanuchka, a popular Georgian restaurant in the middle of Israel’s bustling Tel Aviv, music fills the air and alcohol flows freely.
Until a few years ago, Nanuchka was just a conventional Georgian pub serving traditional food like khachapuri, a cheesy bread, and khinkali, a meat-stuffed dumpling.
But then Nana Shrier, the flamboyant owner of the venue, where the walls are adorned with erotic art, became a strict vegan – in what is said to be the most vegan country in the world per capita.
She decided to convert her entire restaurant to a meatless and dairy-free establishment despite being advised against it by friends and business colleagues.
Israelis are flocking to it – and business is more successful than ever.
For vegans, everything derived from animals is off-limits. Similar to – but stricter than – vegetarians, vegans do not eat eggs and cheese, or drink milk, and in some cases even avoid honey. Leather, wool and silk are also avoided.
Sitting at Nanuchka, eating a meal of vegan tsatsivi (where cauliflower is substituted for chicken), Nana says that consuming animals is both inhumane and unhealthy.
“I don’t like it,” she explains, scrunching her nose in disgust. “I feel the body of the animals in the steak, I feel the animal in the fillet, and the blood. I don’t like it so much.”
Nana argues there is another benefit to veganism as well.
She says that sometimes, after eating a large steak, or a cheeseburger, for example, people can feel tired and lethargic.
“When you eat vegan food, you have a lot of energy to do very good and nice things,” she says with a coy smile.
When asked if she is implying that vegans have a better sex life than their meat-eating counterparts, she laughs heartily and says, “of course!”
Vegan soldiers
Veganism has become so prominent in Israel that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has started catering to followers in its ranks by offering vegan-friendly ration packs, non-leather boots and wool-less berets.
From an army base in southern Israel, Cpl Daniella Yoeli says the food is not exactly worth writing home about but she is happy to have the option of eating couscous and lentils over schnitzel and schwarma.

Best thing ever being vegan healthy and guilt free ❤️❤️
Have any women experienced a loss of their period when just becoming vegan? I’ve been vegan for a month and it’s late (not pregnant) please help!
Hey! This can happen for a few reasons. 1) You are not eating enough calories. Make sure to eat until you are satisfied. The vegan diet is not just the Standard American Diet minus the animal products – that is way too little food! Carb up with rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, legumes, grains, fruits and veggies! 2) Your body is used to the extra hormones from an animal product diet from the meat dairy and eggs and is adjusting.
That Vegan Couple addresses periods a bit in this video, check it out:

Nope, everything is normal for me and I’ve been vegan 3 years. ❤
I did though when I trained for a marathon about 9 years ago and was running 10 hours a week and calories I took in were minimal. I was vegetarian then so no meat but plenty of dairy and eggs in my diet just less than 1700 calories a day.
I’m a power lifter but I definitely eat plenty of fruits veggies and take a multivitamin
Israel also has the highest number of broken UN conventions. Round of applause tho because they are vegan so everything else is irrelevant.
Thanks for this article
Israel is the best!<3
Why?
See your doctor. Going Vegan should not effect your period.
Thanks to Gary Yourofski
Can’t currently afford that unfortunately
Not eating meat totally effected mine. It became almost nonexistent. And that’s not a bad thing;)
Do you have it now? I feel better having it regularly
Maia Plevin Josh Macias Plevin
I lost mine for a while it takes a while for your body to get used to it, however it also means your body can’t afford to waste energy on periods/ having a baby …. So make sure you’re eating plenty !!!! If it doesn’t come back in the next few months I would consider seeing a doctor
Ellie Pich thank you so much you’ve put my mind at ease. I eat plenty and am not looking to have a baby. I just like having a regular period. Thank you again
My periods actually became more regular, and shorter. Every 30 days, and it lasts 3 days.
Before it was inconsistent
Not for me, mine are actually better now 🙂 like clockwork
Maybe they should extend some of their compassion towards Palestinians …
Mine actually came back and became more regular… Then shortly after I got pregnant and my chances of pregnancy were supposed to be very low… Lol thanks to a plant based diet I’ve been blessed with my rainbow baby! (11weeks to go)
Good.
Whicj countru?
Country?
It depends on if you lost a lot of weight it started a new work out routine. I didn’t loose mine going vegan but I did loose it for a few months when started working out.
That’s amazing …
Antonio Israel
Frank Woll
Great
If you are eating balanced you shouldn’t lose period. If you only eating salads and still exercising…you may lose your period due to fast weight loss. Im not on a diet so I ate plenty of other things (veg) but I know there’s folks that are raw vegan and that provides low calories .
Xixi Farmanfarmai how awesome 🙂
That’s sweet!
Inbar Horowitz you should be proud!!! 😀
Not exactly a choice considering where they live. Like saying the Sudanese live on 85% less food as us. They don’t choose to….their forced to
How lovely that they’re sporting vegan boots as they murder Palestinian children. So progressive. If only they saw human beings as worthy of compassion.
Jacques Chocron
Caroline Dymphna
Healthy people can miss a period or be late occasionally. I went through 10 years of fertility treatment and learned a lot 🙂 if it’s starts to be a regular thing or doesn’t come next month, its time to see a doctor.
I just got it today thank you everyone
I think the non vegans make up for it with their over consumption of meat. They have one of the highest animal products consumption rates.

The politics in Israel are complex , don’t pass judgment until you live there yourself
I’ve been there 3 times, and am fully confident in passing judgment on apartheid.
Maybe palestinians need to stop killing jews every time they have a chance
Sofia Natsis: we were talking about this yesterday!
Actually it is.
No its really not.
Maybe you should redirect your efforts towards somthing other than propoganda. Israel have broken over 70 UN conventions, used banned weapons, bombed designated UN safe zones full of sleeping wonen and children, partake in the illegal trafficking of human organs often against the “donars” will simply for the crime of being Palestinian. They are terrorists.

This is complete humanewashing of the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine. Embarrassing when vegans, of all people, don’t get it.

This is exactly why we created Vegans Against the Occupation. Wake up to intersectionality! Palestinians don’t care if your boots are vegan if they’re crushing their necks!

Kerry, you are so mistaken. What about Pakistan e.g.? Women have very little chance of a good education and are even allowed to be beaten as the latest news showed. In Israel, womens rights are something so natural as breathing. Interesting that the accusation of breaking UN human rights comes from a country like Saudi Arabia where gays are being hanged and women are not allowed to drive. In Israel, more women fly planes than women drive in SA and the Jerusalem Gay Pride Day is one of the biggest in the world! And those are facts, not just a propaganda by the BDS.

When I went vegan I didn’t get my period for 10 weeks but eventually it came around and I get it regularly now (every 4-5weeks)
Why is the UN picking on Israel and not Syria, Iran, Iraq and other countries who are much bigger in their human rights crimes?
What about Israels use of banned chemical weapons, or their fondness for using Palestinian ‘donars’ for the black market organ trade, or their bombing of a designated UN ‘safe zone’ full of sleeping and terrified women and children? Or IDF illegally detaining Palestininan kids without adults or legal representation and torturing them? The list is endless. Israel is an aparteid state, anyone in denial of this is either brainwashed by pro Israelli propoganda or very stupid. And that is why I dont give a$#%&!@*if they are a country full of vegans.
The question you should ask is why is the west so enamoured with Israhell that we ignore their blatant human rights abuses.
Let’s go to Isreal Justin Jacobs!
Ummm, that’s what I’ve been saying!
Dean Gestal
Amazing!!!!
I wonder why that is
Agreed!!!
That IDF soldier is probably smiling because she just murdered some Palestinian babies.
Don’t be so fucking shamefully ignorant!!!

Probably many can empathise after having the same done to themselves or family as what is done to non-human animals. Good on them.
6yrs vegan and no I get it monthly.
You are getting angry at every Isreali? Not every person should be held responsible for the government’s actions. Not every Palestinian is peaceful either.
Where have I blamed every Israeli? I am refering to the crimes committed by Israel as an aparteid state. Its like the whole argument of ‘oh, you criticised Israel, you are an anti-semite.’ Um, no, anti semitism and anti zionism don’t correlate.
Gary Yourofsky mentioned in an interview he did in Israel that he believes it is because they understand persecution so well from their past and can relate.
Just wanted to clarify if wool is vegan or not? If wool is not taken from sheep it will not be be able to walk around with the weight of the wool and can die of starvation.. .. So is it bad to take away wool?
Vegan is no animal products whatsoever…what they dont show u is how they treat them before during and after taking the wool!
No it is not bad. Our sheep are very happy after being sheered and are treated well.
Just because you believe the particular sheep you take wool from are happy does not speak for how the millions of others are treated.
Wool isn’t vegan
My question is wouldnt it be cruel not to shear as the sheep can suffer because of the weight of the wool.. I have seen an animal rescue show where a sheep that got lost for a few months was in a terrible state because the wool was weighing it down literally.. and could not even walk ..
How can you be a vegan and bomb the hell out of people inder seige
http://www.peta.org/about-peta/faq/whats-wrong-with-wearing-wool/
Peter Fiumara
God forbid Trump makes it in the White House, come next January, you’ll understand how erroneous it is to mistake governmental policy for the will of the people in the country. The girl in the picture might very well oppose Israel’s actions and yet be powerless to stop it. All Israelis are not evil, obviously.
Melanie Hogan Maxine Hogan
Not good to generalize. I’m against the occupation, but remember conscription is law over there. Whatever your policies are, you gotta contribute.
Ugh. Please stop spreading this vegan washing propaganda meant to distract from the genocide and crimes against humanity being committed against Palestinians.
That’s such bullshit…Palestinians are not under siege. Hamas are terrorists.

Israel is number one, aren’t you proud
Perhaps it’s easier for people who keep kosher to go vegan because they separate meat and dairy anyway?
That is so wonderful
Deanna Lindsay Campbell ..thank you so much .. .. I don’t wear wool any way .. My concern was about not shearing but this article clarifies it ..
Ben Loewe thank you ..
Love animals, love Israel.
Matthew McNicholas read!!!
Go israel!!!! And you should see the amount of vegan options in thw supermarket omg :O
Good point, Jaimie! I like your attitude!
Lol
Driskoll Heath
Henya,this made me think of u, lucky girl 🙂
Right on, Israel!!!
The fact the Isrealnis the country with the most vegans is further proof that much of the Vegan movement has absolutely nothing to do with compassion. I don’t even understand why you would promote this as a point with the horrid things that the Israeli public supports with full knowledge that they are largely the agressors. Don’t forget Hilter was a vegetarian as well. So full of crap you people are.
So you have compassion for animals but none for your fellow man?
You don’t have to shear to the skin
Now if they’d just stop committing genocide, apartheid and stealing people’s land…
If that were the case they wouldn’t be persecuting the Palestinians.
Stacie Leppky, fighting for basic rights against an oppressive, homicidal right-wing regime is not terrorism.
Avi Katz
h****r was not a vegetarian. He ate meat. They spread lies that he was vegetarian to make him seem more compassionate.
If the the Israeli army can give vegans non leather boots, vegans ration pacts and non wool berets – why can’t the British army ?!
Excellent
I heard he suffered with his bowels and avoided meat purely to alleviate his own suffering.
If everyone treated their sheep as you did Emily Rose Davis it wouldnt be bad but the majority of sheep are treated horribly and abused and shaved for their wool hence the reason vegans choose not to buy wool.
Go Israel! !!!!!
On the contrary. I have PCOS and normally don’t get a period. Now I get one every month.
Who could eat a friend?
Not surprised!
Bishop Bledsoe
hahah not surprising at all
So easy to be kosher as a vegan
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/support-vegan-message-vegan-method-freelee-banana-girl
It’s a choice in life for me I feel better and don’t look my age
The fact we talk about being vegan with non vegan’s is proof of our compassion for our fellow man. Eating animal’s is against their will. Raising them as food is harming our environment. Digesting animal products is harmful to the human body. Please stop hating on the messengers, we care about you the planet and the animals. All of us can thrive together when humans eat plant based nutrition only. Thank you for allowing me to share with you.
:/
I think it makes total sense that Israel would have a lot of vegans. A vegan diet is kosher by default.
I’m not sure what you have against vegans and Israelis.
Sandy Wilson thanks .. I am a vegan .. But I don’t judge as I feel every decision comes from heart .. I gave up eating meat fish egg etc when I was two ..my family continues to eat..
Kristina Lindquist
Israel.
This page is “going vegan”. Meant to discuss vegan happenings, not politics or any other problems with the country.
Ok. Then lets talk about “vegan happenings”. Let’s talk about how the Israeli government using veganism to excuse genocide.
if you will come and visit Israel you will stop thinking that the Israeli government is committing genocide.
Or you can keep getting your “facts” from the media and keep believing these lies…
Hopefully the rise in Veganism will inspire a rise in nonviolence in general.

Pissing off one vegan at a time…one of my favorite pastimes….
I heard they punch sheep, repeatedly in the face and neck to subdue them, all while sharpening thr razors in front of them and taunting the sheep by saying things like, you’re fat and ugly or I am better than you because I walk on two legs…..terrible..just terrible.
Let’s force our ideology and beliefs down everyone’s throat. Stop eating meat or we will kill you…
I fail to comprehend how humans can stoop down to this level ..yet claim that we are superior to animals… Perhaos religion has a role in developing this superiority complex and the belief that everything exist for the man to consume .. l
Derek James Bedard our apartment is already packed up… Lol
Marcy Poch
Who said that?
Come one guys people of Israel have nothing to do with a government do you really think they wanna be at constant war ? So your comments regarding that are completely irrelevant. I’ve been to Israel myself and can say that I was really amazed how friendly people are out there and how most places are dog friendly and the variety of veggie options in most restaurants/cafes
I’m vegetarian and Jewish, incedently. Iunderstand completely. But please don’t judge an entire group by bad examples even if they are the most vocal. its not unheard of for the most pious in any group to be hypocrites.
The very idea that putting a label on yourself suddenly makes you a better person should be suspect, in my opinion.

PLEASE people of Israel, turn away from ungodliness. Your behavior is heaping shame upon your brothers and sisters. There are so many Jewish people around the world that want nothing to do with this and they are suffering for the sin of Israel. Who has the power to stop this? Who more than the Israeli public?
The problem is it’s not about you…it’s about them. Animals don’t sacrifice themselves for you, you take what’s not yours and call it making choices for yourself but it’s not yours. Vegans are just fighting for those who can’t stick up for themselves. I don’t give a sh** about you and your beliefs and desires…I care about my animals. End of story.

Where did you get this information? Organ harvesting? Lol. Don’t believe everything you read online.
Okay, look at the numbers. The Palestinian population has increased massively in recent years. If Israel was trying to commit genocide I imagine they’d be more successful than that. Don’t throw around words like genocide when you are not informed about an issue.
Lol and you saw the IDF murdering children? Somehow I find that hard to believe.
it is genocide. Maybe you shouldn’t defend a horrific regime without being informed on the issue.
“Humanewashing”? What the hell? They are a country, they are human beings and they are increasingly vegan. Israelis ARE humans too, contrary to what you seem to think.
If the Israeli govt was committing genocide, the Palestinian population would probably have shrunk in recent years, no? Even a little? No….it’s been increasing like crazy. Lol, if it’s a genocide, it’s not a very successful one.
There are a ton of Arab Israelis? And they eat at the same resraurants….
Colin Stuart
I didn’t say I saw them murdering children, but I did see the results.
Yay!!! Each day someone is making the choice of being a vegan!!!! I’m so happy!!! It doesn’t matter who you are, just make the switch! You’ll sace animals, yourself, and the world!

Respect human rights, loathe Israel.
And you don’t think that Israeli apartheid, illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing is against the Palestinians’ will?
The people of Israel have everything to do with government. It’s a democracy, is it not? That means that Jewish Israelis have influence over their government’s policies. Not to mention, every single one of them, both male and female, is required to serve in the occupying Israeli military that illegally occupies the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza. If they oppose this policy, why don’t they refuse to serve en masse. Why don’t they protest. Why don’t they forge non-governmental alliances with the Palestinians to make it one democratic state for all?
Gimme a break.
It has everything to do with the article, because this is veganwashing propaganda. http://www.turkeyagenda.com/vegan-killers-israeli-vegan-washing-and-the-manipulation-of-morality-1656.html
Their Palestinian neighbors that they are illegally occupying, I might add.

Hi, all. I’m a Jewish-American vegan who spent a month in the Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank, and saw for myself what’s really going on there. I recently did an interview on ‘A Privileged Vegan’ about my experiences there, and about the role of ‘veganwashing’ propaganda in the Israeli vegan movement. I really hope you will check this out and learn the truth about what’s really going on there. Please give this a watch…we made this video specifically for the vegan community to learn the truth about this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAhcgrtlKwQ
And for more info. on Israeli vegan-washing: http://www.turkeyagenda.com/vegan-killers-israeli-vegan-washing-and-the-manipulation-of-morality-1656.html

I love the $#%&!@*was a vegetarian” argument. What does that even mean? All people who are veg are nazis? I don’t get that at all. Use some real logic people!
Also, Israelis love life, the Palestinians love death.
Stacie, of you actually cared you wouldn’t need me to explain it to you. It’s not hard to simply Google “Israeli government” and “vegan washing”.
If you do, here’s the first result that will turn up.
I’m not looking to spend time & energy arguing with people that aren’t open to actually learning about what’s going on in the world. The information is out there. I invite you to take a look.

It’s nice that there are many vegans but they probably eat Palestinian children.
So they shoot people in their vegan getups?
I feel like a lot of the vegan change happening in Israel has a lot to do with Gary Yourofsky

Probably also the vegan winner of the Big Brother show. There was a poll after saying a good amount of viewers saw animals differently and became veg.
Yayyyyy! Now IDF can have vegan boots to wear while they kill Palestinian kids.
You can’t veganize an army!!
It’s Palestine.
That wouldn’t be veganism though since human meat is still meat you know. Not nice. I’m not Israeli, nor have I been to Israel but it’s unfair to make such a statement. Peace.
What sounds horrible (to you? )
That is extremely narrow minded from you to say. How many Israelis do you know? What do you know about their stance on war and military and Islam? Just because their military does many wrong things doesn’t mean that they are for that and supportive of cruelty towards people of Muslim faith. I’m American but I wouldn’t want anybody to think that the US military represents my wants.
That’s beautiful. I hope that they will soon come to peace too with their neighbouring countries.
Yes because the Israeli military is the only one in the world right? I can tell you have a fair view of how people treat each other. Why don’t you ask soldiers from other nations about how much blood is on their hands. I understand what their army does is wrong…it’s not more wrong though for Israelis to kill Palestinians than for anyone else committing murder.
All military/war is wrong but this article is about IDF
Love Israel. God’s chosen people. Will never have a bad thing to say about them.
Rose Malisch sorry but I think the fact they’re killing children daily deserves more attention than the fact they’re not eating meat or dairy.
Unfair? Read up about Israel ‘s treatment of Palestinian children and you will find a new dimension of unfair. It should also be obvious to you that I made that comment as a joke that comments on how they treat Palestinians.
Hmmm to be vegan and not support the slaughter of animals but support the slaughter of children and innocent people or to not be vegan and support the slaughter of animals, but not support the slaughter of human beings…. I think I go with the latter one.
Yeah except they use nuclear weapons on innocent people.. Nobody chose them, they are inhabiting a land illegally.
We shall see.
Agree with you Mia. These people have no morals what so ever even if they are vegans. I still see them as monsters and quite frankly, I would rather be friends with someone that works in a slaughter house, instead of being friends with a vegan Israeli soldier.
Omg I guess we should also praise$#%&!@*for being veggie!!!
Yeah Rose, I mean I’m not from$#%&!@*Germany and I never met$#%&!@* but I think is unfair to hate on him when he was a vegetarian and it is known that he loved animals so much.
But yeah seeing your logic we should also love$#%&!@*for being a vegetarian.
Just like$#%&!@*! He was so brilliant on so many levels!

Nice
Let the “palestinian’ take care of there kids first.. Becouse so far they dont!
Free israel
Where is palstine?
I really enjoyed reading this article ♡ thank you ♡
Ridiculous, Atalia. What makes you think most Palestinians don’t take care of their children to the nest of their ability? You have the same kind of prejudice that most of the Germans had about the Jews in the 40’s. Disgraceful that you don’t see that. Palestinians aren’t even allowed to import most spices. Their water gets cut off during Ramadan month so they have water scarcity when breaking fast. Palenstinian children are taken to jail and kept there without trial. These are just some of the problems that I know about.
It’s where your country’s illegal settlements are atalia.
I think people are negative because it’s Israel not because of the vegan bit.
So that’s why there’s illegal settlements in the West Bank? Because they are free?

Oh Lotte how it must be so easy for you to sit where you are and judge , only by what you see and hear in your one sided media. Why won’t you come and spend one day in Sderot or any of the villages near by and how you can run to the nearest bomb shelter in less then a minute because of Hamas missiles . Why won’t you visit the family of that 4 year old who didn’t make it. Have you heard about that beautiful 13 year old Hillel who was sleeping in her own bed and a 17 year old palastinian terrorist stab her to death ( that happened only 2 days ago)… And the worst part the mother of that boy is glad yes she is happy that her sun died shahid…. This is that crazy world we live in , so unless you plan to walk a mile in our shoes don’t judge. P.S unless it wasn’t clear I’m against any innocent PPl being killed that includes palastinian, but sometimes in war there are casualties that’s life.
If only the rest of the Middle East would embrace and adopt the free thinking and compassionate culture of Israel, the world would be a better, more peaceful place. Spread the love for all living creatures.
Love compassion. Love vegans. Love Israel ❤
