Every year November 1 is celebrated as World Vegan Day. By now, the vegan lifestyle and diet have become quite popular around the world. Vegans avoid using leather, wool, and products tested on animals. They also avoid places where animals are used for entertainment, such as circuses or zoos. The idea is to simply love and care for animals instead of using them for your own benefit or, worse, being cruel to animals. The vegan diet is based on eating plants and plant-based foods such as vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruits. Vegans do not eat foods that are derived from animals, including dairy products and eggs.
Why do we celebrate World Vegan Day?
World Vegan Day began in England in 1994, thanks to vegan activist Louise Wallis. As president of the Vegan Society, she wanted to celebrate its 50th anniversary and draw attention to the entry of the word “vegan” into the English language.
Wallis chose the date of November 1, which is between Halloween on October 31 and ‘Day of the Dead’ on November 2. Since then, November 1 has been a special day for vegans around the world to celebrate and spread awareness about veganism and its benefits.
In honor of World Vegan Day, here are some incredibly delicious vegan recipes you can make and enjoy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
