And we are back to this debate. I know this is a touchy subject, but I really wanted to address it. Two days ago I listened to a podcast about veganism. It was all about how vegans should stick to the diet, and if once in a while they ate oysters or tuna they had it all wrong and had to ethical commitment.

Is veganism the future of our planet? Netflix sci-fi series Travelers says yes. The sci-fi show, which originally aired on Canadian network Showcase, takes place “many centuries into the future, [when] the Earth’s population has dwindled to almost nothing — but the survivors have discovered the key to time travel. Desperate to save humanity, a group enters the 21st century on a mission to avert disaster.” Although there are no animals left on earth at this time, fans of the show say that the future is almost certainly an entirely vegan one.

Shifting to plant protein foods—like lentils, beans, and nuts—can offset greenhouse gas emissions in the process, according to a new study in the journal Nature Sustainability.

With Coronavirus affecting every person on the planet, discussing something seemingly trivial like veganism could be seen as insensitive. However, it may take a global disaster for people to finally realise the link between the exploitation of animals and human suffering.

Replacing meat and dairy with vegan alternatives can cut your risk of heart disease down by one third, a new study has found. It’s good news for vegans, as researchers have found that even those who occasionally dabble with a plant-based diet will see the benefits of it. By subbing out red meat and replacing it with nuts and seeds each day, people are 30% less likely to die of a coronary heart disease.

Gen Z is setting the trends for food choices: They like to try new foods, eat healthy, convenient plant-based options. You don't have to be vegan to eat vegan.

Despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, more than 500 new vegan restaurants have opened around the world during this time. Data from online vegetarian and vegan food review service HappyCow has highlighted the boom in meat-free businesses.

As if he weren’t unlikeable enough already, Adolf Hitler was a preachy vegetarian. He subjected his guests to rambling lectures on the health benefits of a meatless lifestyle, and he berated his wife for using lipstick containing animal products. He forced his companions to hear his graphic descriptions of the violence in slaughterhouses, and then triumphantly accused them of moral cowardice for being unable to listen. Hitler, a man without an ounce of virtue, took great pleasure in virtue-signaling.

Figures show that sales of tofu grew by almost 82 percent in the UK during the coronavirus lockdown. Consumer insight company Kantar Worldpanel investigated the boom in plant-based eating, and discovered the rising interest in tofu. In line with this growing trend, a number of UK supermarkets have reported an increase in sales for vegan meat substitutes.

While one in 20 believe vegans can eat meat, 16 percent think they eat cheese, and one percent think they cannot eat bananas.

Definitely a controversial video. Actually do something productive with your day and watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce4DJh-L7Ys

But there's less bacteria—and way fewer antibiotic-resistant strains—in grass-fed beef than conventional, Consumer Reports finds.

“Every vegan seems to have their own lightbulb moment when something clicked and they stopped eating animal products,” says Cambridge University archaeologist Dr Pía Spry-Marqués, who committed to a plant-only diet two years ago as she researched the history of pork. “My son was born three years ago and I was nursing him. People looked at me funny for breastfeeding my child, and yet it was fine to drink lattes with cow’s milk, or eat chocolate spread,” she recalls to The Independent.

Have you heard about the veggie-eating dog who lived to the ripe age of 27? That’s 189 dog years! The dog, Bramble, a blue merle Collie, lived in the UK and held the Guinness World Record for being the oldest living dog at the time. What’s most amazing about this story is that the dog actually lived on a vegan diet of rice, lentils and organic vegetables.

It was announced this week that all slaughterhouses in England will have to install CCTV cameras, in a Government move to try to improve animal welfare on UK farms. As a lover of animals, you’d think I would be thrilled at this news. Instead I can’t help but continue to wonder why on earth we are killing animals in the first place. It shouldn’t be a question of whether or not it’s caught on camera.

Like many vegans, I am often asked what I eat. The answer: a lot. Vegans only eat foods that come from plants. I don’t eat any animal or animal-derived products: no meat, dairy or eggs. Despite being a college student on a budget, and having limited dorm kitchen supplies, I rarely have trouble figuring out what to eat. You do not have to buy special food to stay healthy as a vegan. Here are some tips I use to maintain my diet. You can find this complete story on our College Town site.

In early October, I surprised my family, friends and colleagues by announcing that I had become a vegan. Up until then, I wasn’t even vegetarian. I loved sausages, I ate chicken several times a week and I couldn’t imagine living without cheese. I have, of course, known for a long time that animal farming is a nasty business. Like everyone, I have seen those distressing pictures of the conditions endured by poultry, cattle and pigs in factory farms.

Facts, figures and busted myths: Why going vegan is on the up, and why you might even like to try it yourself.As the UK finishes the last of its turkey sandwiches, eats all the cheese it can handle and drinks the last drops of wine, the focus shifts to changes to be made for the new year. And each year, more and more people are going vegan.

If you’ve ever eaten at a quality vegan restaurant with a non-vegan, you’ve likely heard this statement: “Man, this stuff is amazing for vegan food!” That final qualifier underscores an interesting contradiction recently put forth by an expert in the field of food sustainability: The best way to sell more vegetarian and vegan food might be to not even point out that its vegetarian or vegan at all.

Veganism has been described as the fastest growing lifestyle movement. For some concern about animal welfare leads them to actively campaign against all forms of the meat industry. But are some of those activists taking it too far? "When you're being called murderers and rapists, that is overstepping the mark, for fairly obvious reasons," says Alison Waugh, a trainee farmer in Northumberland. She has received death threats due to her work and told the Victoria Derbyshire programme other farmers are feeling threatened.
