Over half a million vegans in the UK!
Over 542,000 people in the UK are now vegan, up 360 per cent since the last count of 150,000 in 2006. Veganism is now Britain’s fastest growing lifestyle movement with more and more people choosing the kindest, greenest and healthiest way to live.
Vegans don’t eat any animal products such as meat, fish, cheese, milk, eggs or honey. They don’t wear leather, wool or silk and don’t drink wine or beer filtered using animal products.
The research, commisioned by the Vegan Society and Vegan Life magazine is featured in today’s Telegraph, Daily Mail and Sun newspapers.
