Many movie stars and singers have joined the vegan movement. As a result, more and more research has been conducted on the benefits of a vegan diet. In this article we will look at how a vegan diet may contribute to prevention or maintenance of certain diseases such as cancer, diabetes, weight loss, gastrointestinal issues, and heart disease.

  • A Pocket Guide to Veganism
    A Pocket Guide to Veganism What is veganism? Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, cruelty to and exploitation of animals. In dietary terms, this means avoiding eating animal products like meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Why Vegan? It’s better for animals! The majority of animals who are bred for consumption spend their short lives on a factory farm, before facing a terrifying death. Chickens like Bramble here spend their lives in tiny, windowless sheds. She had no access to natural light, fresh air, or even grass. Thankfully she was saved from slaughter. But many others aren’t as lucky. It helps the planet! Animal farming is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all motorised transport combined. In addition, it is responsible for vast amounts of deforestation and water pollution around the world. The carbon footprint of a vegan diet is as much as 60% smaller than a meat-based one and 24% smaller than a vegetarian one. It’s healthy! You can obtain all of the nutrients your body needs from a vegan diet. As such, the British Dietetics Association and American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (along with many other similar organisations around the world) all support a well-planned vegan diet as being healthy and suitable for all age groups. Shopping It has never been easier to be vegan, with plant-based foods now available in every single supermarket. Thanks to Animal Aid’s #MarkItVegan campaign, the vast majority of supermarkets now clearly label their own-brand vegan products! Brands to look out for..

  • Die Veggieworld, Diesen Trend Durch Ihr Massives Wachstum Eindeutig Nach
    www.veggieworld.de Wellfairs GmbH, Bockholtstraße 151, 41460 Neuss, 00 49 2131 66399 02 Deutschland ist der Veggie-Leader in Europa Dass eine pflanzenbasierte Ernährung immer beliebter wird, beweist die steigende Anzahl der Veganer und Vegetarier in der Bevölkerung. Der wachsende Trend spiegelt sich auch in der Entwicklung wider. In Deutschland ernähren sich ca. 7,8 Millionen Menschen vegetarisch und fast 1 Million Menschen vegan. Diese Zahlen veröffentlicht der VEBU (Vegetarierbund Deutschland e.V.) regelmäßig und notiert dabei, dass jeden Tag schätzungsweise 2.000 Menschen hinzukommen. Der Markt wächst noch weiter! Laut dem Marktforschungsunternehmen Mintel wurden 2015 in Deutschland mehr vegane Produkte als in jedem anderen europäischen Land eingeführt. Deutschland steht nun mit 36 % aller Einführungen an der Spitze Europas. Lediglich Großbritannien gefolgt von Spanien und Italien können ansatzweise mithalten. Außerdem hat die Auslobung „vegan“ (10 %) die Kennzeichnung „vegetarisch“ (6 %) bei deutschen Lebensmittel- und Getränkeprodukten überholt, so die Studie von Mintel weiter. Laut einer Marktanalyse des Instituts für Handelsforschung (IFH) Köln wurden im Jahr 2015 Umsätze von 454 Millionen EUR mit vegetarischen und veganen Produkten erzielt. Dies ist ein Wachstumstrend von 25,9 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Ungewöhnlicher, aber sehr aussagekräftiger Indikator für das enorme Wachstum der Branche ist auch die Anzahl der im Einzelhandel erhältlichen veganen Kochbücher. Gab es 2011 noch 12 Bücher am Markt, waren es in 2015 bereits 119 – Tendenz eindeutig steigend. Und last but not least zeichnet auch die Entwicklung der führenden Messe im veganen Markt, die VeggieWorld, diesen Trend durch ihr massives Wachstum eindeutig nach. Weltweite Verteilung Die European Vegetarian Union (EVU) geht davon aus, dass sich in Belgien 2 % der Bevölkerung vegetarisch ernähren sollen, in Österreich 3 % und in der Schweiz 5 %.
