The Vegan Diet: A Look at Sustainability
Vegan. What is the first thing that comes to your mind? Do you think, strange, minority, or health freak? Do you think, “Oh, Lisa at work is a vegan, a little nutty, that one…”? When you hear the term vegan, you already start to think of someone who is different. Being vegan, you are placed into a category which is unique from the rest of humanity. Vegans go against cultural and social norms and traditions.

Vegans usually don't have to worry too much about where their nutrition is coming from. Those who follow a whole food, plant-based diet tend to naturally reach recommended values for protein, iron, vitamin D, and many other macro and micronutrients non-vegans love to harp on.

Following the closing of Pizzaniste, the only Bronx pizzeria (to my knowledge) that sold vegan cheese and crust, my dream for vegan pizza in the Bronx was struggling. As with most of my vegan discoveries, it was through a food ordering app where I found the Vegan Pie at Pizza Gusta. I was sure I was going to get a very sad excuse of a pizza, especially because the word “vegan” is present. Instead, what I received was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had in my life.

What does it mean to be “vegan”? A person who is vegan is one who does not eat or use animal products. This means that an individual would refrain from eating meat, egg, and dairy products and would also not purchase or use materials such as wool or leather. According to Forbes, 3 percent of Americans identity as being vegan.
Telia BoicePublished 6 years ago in Feast6 Great Natural Sources for Vegan Protein
"Where do you get your protein?" is a question that should be banned from any conversation with a vegan. Only the most malnourished individuals ever suffer from a protein deficiency—if you're eating a well-rounded diet full of veggies, fruits, and grains, you'll never have to worry about it. No protein shakes necessary.
Haley Booker-LauridsonPublished 6 years ago in FeastA Harsher Truth
I read an article recently that asked why killing animals is moral when killing people is evil. It asked why the Holocaust was a blight on our history of human beings when we will march animals into a slaughterhouse and consume their flesh. The writer holds vegan views, and to a degree, vegan views are valid. While 70 percent of pollution is created by just 100 companies, all these companies are fossil fuel creators. Of course if you switch to green energy, that would be better. The second biggest cause of pollution is animals. Their farming, their farting, de-forestation, etc. A vegan diet will help slow this. However, there can be nothing morally gained from choosing not to eat animals. Whilst depending on your original diet, it may have health benefits, there is nothing inherently moral about it.
Ceilana SecondPublished 6 years ago in FeastWhy People Need to Stop Hating Vegans
With the recent news that Waitrose food editor, William Sitwell, joked about "capturing" vegans, "killing" them and force feeding them meat, and the following Good Morning Britain debate (with one of the debatees calling those who don't eat meat "irritating"), there had been a heated argument in the media about why people seem to hate vegans just so much. As a vegan myself of two years, I know first hand how people tend to treat vegans in everyday life. And I have to say, people really don't like vegans! I wanted to break down why people don't seem to like us very much in everyday life.
Beth HaywoodPublished 6 years ago in FeastWhy I Am No Longer Vegan
After two years, I have decided to no longer call myself vegan. During these two years, not only have I had to battle with my own morals on the subject of factory farming, but I have also had to have incredibly awkward conversations with waitstaff who are just trying to do their job, and don't get paid nearly enough to clearly know every ingredient on the menu (especially when it's unclear like isinglass or gelatin).

"I could never go vegan!" - Me, a few years ago—when I loved chicken nuggets, milkshakes, and cheese. From the start of my transition to veganism up until now, I've not only grown more and more passionate about the movement, but have also learned a lot about my body and how it responds to different foods. I attribute this to my newfound habits of openness to try new flavours and ingredients, which in my old diet, I would have never considered. This is mainly due to habit. Before, I already had easily accessible foods that I had enjoyed throughout my life—these were the flavours I was comfortable with. Milk with my cereal for breakfast... Chicken sandwich for lunch... Cheesy pasta for dinner... I didn't feel the need to experiment with flavour!
