Honey is not vegan simply because it is an animal by-product, but the bees are taking over. We need to be protecting the other pollinators.

We’ve all seen how quickly big food companies have jumped on board the plant-based train with the increase of vegan foods now available.

Today I’m talking directly to the vegans and the wannabe vegans about how to be a confident vegan.

With the growth of veganism, people are beginning to question the ethics of animal agricultural practices.

In a historic move for the food system and fantastic news for the animals, the USDA has given two brands full approval to sell their cell-based chicken in America! It will be first introduced in a San Francisco restaurant, meaning, yes people, cell-based meat is a reality.

Methane emissions from livestock, especially cattle, are a significant environmental problem. The methane produced as a by-product of cow digestion through belching and flatulence warms the planet at an accelerated rate.

Yes, it’s a luxurious fabric and beautiful to wear, but the cruelty behind silk is such that vegans refused to buy into this industry.

Feather production is an industry that many don’t realise the amount of cruelty within. This pretty plumage is definitely off the vegan’s list.

Fishing is a massive industry and one that needs to be reeled in! So how would going vegan stop the overfishing impact on ocean ecosystems?
