The Vegan Lifestyle: Why It’s So Appealing
More and more people today are adopting a vegan lifestyle. It feels like everywhere you look, someone just turned vegan. There are also many celebrities who have chosen to be vegans like Joaquin Phoenix. After winning the Oscar for the movie Joker, he admirably took his few moments up on stage to give his voice to the movement. In his own words:
“…I think we’ve become very disconnected from the natural world. Many of us are guilty of an egocentric worldview, and we believe that we’re the centre of the universe. We go into the natural world and we plunder it for its resources. We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow and steal her baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable. Then we take her milk that’s intended for her calf and we put it in our coffee and our cereal.
Veganism Explained
Being a vegan means abstaining from all animal products, particularly in relation to diet. This means that, besides cutting out red meat, there will be an avoidance of poultry, eggs, fish, all dairy products, as well as honey. Often, people follow this way of eating because of their dedication to animal rights.
The History of Veganism
Donald Watson came up with the term “vegan” 76 years ago in 1944, when he co-founded the Vegan Society in the United Kingdom. In the beginning of the movement, a vegan was defined as a “non-dairy vegetarian,” and by 1945, the term meant abstinence from honey, eggs, milk, butter and cheese. From 1951, the definition of being a vegan by the Veganism Society was “the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals.”
Vegans On The Rise
There are millions of vegans worldwide, and the number is growing every day. From the young to the old, more and more people around the world are adopting a vegan lifestyle. Australia has the third-fastest growing vegan population behind China and the United Arab Emirates
Famous Vegan Dishes Around The World
In the Middle East, dishes that are hugely popular are falafel and hummus. Both are made using chickpeas, and enjoyed by millions on a daily basis. Turkish coffee is also enjoyed, without the need for milk. In Thailand, there are many dishes available, such as Pad Thai, a delicious dish made with rice noodles and vegetables, where seafood, chicken, or beef is replaced with tofu.
Faking Meat – The Leaders In The Industry
For some, the hardest part of becoming vegan is giving up meat. It’s not only the delicious taste of meat they crave, but years of psychological conditioning making them believe they have to eat meat every day. That’s where companies such as Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods step in. These two companies are the frontrunners in the “fake meat” consumerism market today.
