Although finding vegan food has become much more easier in the last ten years it’s still a struggle in many cases. Some consider themselves to be fortunate if there’s a vegan section in the supermarket they visit. Others feel very privileged if they should have an entire vegan supermarket around the corner.
Sometimes it takes an experience in one’s life that is so shocking that could make someone go vegan overnight. Even the strongest omnivores would have been disgusted by the experience this woman had gone through. After ordering for chicken nuggets at McDonald’s she couldn’t believe her eyes seeing a feather in her nuggets.
Sometimes it takes a lot of passion and effort to achieve your goals and sometimes it takes a brilliant idea to get there very quickly. By setting up a vegan pop-up “restaurant”, Shawn Harrison decided not to have an ordinary restaurant of his own. Instead he enjoys to travel around the country and to prepare a vegan meal whereever he is being asked to do so.
Unfortunately, too many people still seem to deliberately ignore the fact that climate change is becoming an increasingly crucial issue. Scientists agree by now that the entire ecosystem is going to collapse if people keep living as if there is no tomorrow. In fact, mainstream media want this undeniable truth to be ignored as long as possible and they still seem to have the power to do so.
If you had ever the chance to visit a factory farm, you would not forget this experience. Animals use to live in catastrophic conditions such as veal crates for baby calves, gestation crates for mother pigs and battery cages for egg-laying hens. Considering that nearly nine billions animals are killed for food in the United States each year there has been only one federal law up to now that rules how animals should be treated.
Unfortunately, there are still too many people who don’t seem to be aware about the impact of meat consumption and dairy products on gas emissions and climate change. The impact is huge and even exceeds the impact of the entire aviation industry on gas emissions. Very interestingly, most food that are linked to climate change often prove to be unhealthy, especially when consumed in large quantities.
People use to celebrate Thanksgiving in so many countries. It’s a wonderful feast expressing the gratitude for the bounty of food so many of us are blessed to enjoy. As for vegans, there are a wide range of vegan recipes that fit perfectly on Thanksgiving. However, what if one does not want to spend the entire day in the kitchen cooking on Thanksgiving?
People who use to eat meat often defend their diet habits by bringing the argument into play that animals are no sentient beings meaning they lack of emotions and empathy. Nothing could be further from the truth! To put it with the words of the animal rights activist, Moby: “Clearly you either have to be delusional or a psychopath to believe that animals don’t suffer.”
The vegan lifestyle seems to become more and more popular in the world. By now, there are entire companies founded to promote the vegan lifestyle launching a wide variety of vegan products that almost every demand for meat alternatives is answered. People become increasingly aware that their diet choice doesn’t only impact their health but also the entire ecosystem.
If investors take the decision of investing $22 million in a vegan restaurant chain, they do it certainly for a very good reason. It becomes more and more obvious that people are tired of being content with eating meals on the go knowing about the hazardous impact on their health in the long run. Being more concerned about health and less poised to sacrifice it becomes not only trendy but might very well become the lifestyle of many more people in the years to come.
