Veganism has long since grown into something more than a way of life. Thanks to a number of celebrities, the "veganism" movement, which two decades ago was far from vegetarianism, has become fashionable today.
Many believe that the phenomenon of vegetarianism is a fabrication of the modern world. However, this is not the case at all. Vegetarians have always existed - before the existence of ancient Greece, and even today. In India, the forerunners of the Hindu movement refused meat as early as the 8th century BC. However, vegan culture is really emerging in the relatively recent past.
The Vegan Society was founded by Yorkshire teacher Donald Watson in 1944. The word "vegan" comes from "vegetarian." However, the differences between the two are quite significant.
Vegetarians have long denied eating meat and fish, with some limiting themselves to the former. Veganism has much more radical and extreme rules. His followers deny everything of animal origin such as eggs, milk, even honey. They also deny all genetically modified products, the work of human intervention.
While vegetarianism is just a diet for some, vegans see their lifestyle as a philosophy. Their manifesto clarifies that they follow a lifestyle in which the exploitation of animals for food, clothing and other purposes is kept to a minimum.
Presumably, apart from not consuming anything related to animals, vegans do not even wear fabrics related to them, such as silk. They do not use animal-tested cosmetics and protest against zoos and circuses where animals are exploited.
In addition, vegans are protesting against agriculture. According to them, this is an insane waste of natural resources, which leads to environmental pollution.
Many celebrities promote veganism as the best alternative to human treatment of animals. Among them are Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman and Moby. Clint Eastwood is also an active advocate for animal rights.
Lenny Kravitz has been named the sexiest vegan in the world. Alicia Silverstone leads this ranking for women. Paul McCartney, as well as all his wives and children, have been vegetarians for years.
Followers of veganism are convinced that sooner or later humanity will switch to plant foods. Studies show that if a person becomes vegan, the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere decreases by 1.5 kg per year.
