2016, Year of the Vegan

[Catherine]

It is a help if people reduce the amount of meat they eat.  I think we will end up with a real spectrum, a range of eating habits that involve varying amounts of vegetarian and vegan foods. 

A lot of people are curious to try vegan foods and see what it is like to eat totally plant based meals. Of those who try vegan foods some will actually continue to eat that way and live a vegan lifestyle.  It is a real change in our thinking that vegan foods are available in regular grocery stores.

I noticed that the vitamins at the drug store were labeled as being suitable for vegetarian  diets. I have soaps that are labeled vegan. For Christmas I was given a scented candle that is  vegan. The "wax" is a soya product and the scent is herbal. I didn't even know that candles could be vegan or non vegan.
