If you haven’t noticed… a big focus of ours here at MetroPops is on the plant-based/vegan lifestyle. We’re here to encourage, educate, support, provide resources, and so much more, that’s why we’re excited to celebrate World Vegan Day, November 1st, and November as World Vegan month.
Veganism isn’t your typical diet. In fact, it isn’t a diet at all, it’s a lifestyle superpower! Think of it as the ultimate quest to live a life where animals high-five you for being their protector.
So, here’s the scoop: We vegans take our mission seriously, right down to what’s on our plate, in our wardrobe, and what we rally behind.
In the food department, it’s a strict “no” to animal meat, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, and even fish. But wait, there’s more! They also dodge sneaky ingredients like whey, gelatin, honey, casein, lactose, shellac, and booze processed through Isinglass (yep, it’s fish bladders!). Talk about thorough label-reading skills!
And fashion-wise, you won’t catch a vegan rocking wool, leather, silk, fur, or feathers. Those cozy down comforters you snuggle up with? Surprise… they come from the fine feathers hiding under a duck or goose’s outer feathers.
But hey, no judgment here. Whether you’re a vegan superhero or not, let’s all join forces to celebrate the many perks of veganism. That means healthier living, a win for our furry and feathered friends, and a thumbs-up for the environment.
Let’s celebrate and appreciate those fantastic benefits together!
Today, this week, or this month you can:
- Try a new vegan recipe like our fav: Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry
