🌱 Veganism 🌱

What is veganism?

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practicable — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

Why go Vegan?

The 3 main reasons:

  1. For your health
    You can get, with a well-planned vegan diet, all the nutrients that our bodies need. The vegan diet is suitable for every age and stage of life. There is research that has linked vegan diets with lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer
  2. For the animals
    Non-human Animals have the right to the Five Freedoms (frequently used to measure welfare): from hunger, thirst and malnutrition; from pain, injury and disease; from discomfort; from fear and distress; to express natural behaviour. pig with puppies

  3. For the environment
    The production of meat and other animal products places a heavy burden on the environment - from crops and water required to feed the animals, to the transport and other processes involved from farm to fork. The vast amount of grain feed required for meat production is a significant contributor to deforestation, habitat loss and species extinction.
