Is a vegan diet healthy for children?
In 2010, Ashish Kumar Jain, then 28 and working in the UK as an IT professional, chanced upon an online video that left a deep impact on him. It described the cruelties meted out by the dairy industry, especially to calves. As an expectant parent, and at a time when he was longing to return to India for the birth of his first baby, he says it convinced him and his wife to switch to a vegan diet.

The plant-based future of food doesn’t always taste that great
I cover the plant-based food industry for Vox, so I get a lot of free food samples. A lot. Some of the products that startups mail me are delicious, many are just okay, and a few have been downright awful, bad enough to make me wonder out loud, “Why are they letting people eat this stuff?”

You can't be a vegan and still eat at fast food chains
Veganism has gone mainstream, so it’s easy to forget what life used to be like for us plant-munchers. In restaurants we had to endure awkward conversations with bewildered waiters, who would disappear to the kitchen and return saying they could do us the salad with the cheese picked out and the dressing left off.
