There has never been a better or easier time to go vegan! A growing number of people, do not consume other animals and gather all of their nutrition from a wide assortment of plants such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes (lentils, beans...), fruits, nuts and seeds. People make vegan choices for many reasons: they believe it is unethical to breed, confine, harm and kill other living beings for human food when it is unnecessary; they oppose the horrific cruelty and abuse that other animals suffer for human food, they want to protect rivers, forests, air, and wildlife habitats from pollution and destruction, and / or they want to improve their health and prevent chronic illness.
