Vegan Eating In The Spotlight

Vegan eating is more popular than ever. Here, fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue highlights a vegan pop tart recipe from Rawcells, calling it a “healthier version” of the well-known toaster treat, and adds that one look at the Rawcells Instagram page might convince you to go vegan.

Other publications are putting plants on their pages (digital or otherwise) too. SELF just posted four vegan recipes from Chef Chloe Coscarelli, calling her “the hottest vegan chef in N.Y.C. and L.A.”

And Coscarelli’s restaurant, by Chloe, like many other veg eateries, reaches both vegans and the ever-growing number of omnivorous diners looking for healthier and kinder foods. Co-founder Samantha Wasser told SELF: “Really, 90 percent of our customers aren’t vegan.”

Plant-based foods might not come to mind when you think of Taco Bell and other fast food joints, but could you have imagined even just a decade ago that, according to POPSUGAR, there are a whopping 5,700,000 vegetarian combinations that can be ordered at Taco Bell?

Almost anywhere you go, you can find vegetarian, vegan or easily veganizable meals these days.

Even food industry insiders have called plant-based foods the hottest new trend in fast-casual food. Veggie foods are flying off the grocery shelves too: the meat alternatives market is projected to reach $5.17 billion by 2020.

From Dunkin’ and Starbucks to Subway and Ben & Jerry’s, major chains are responding to the growing demand for plant-based foods. And as consumers, we have the power to choose compassion with every meal or purchase.

It’s easier than ever before to choose compassionate foods. Get started today at TryVeg.com.
