Vegan People
People have been vegetarian for as long as they have been around. Some out of necessity, and later, moral belief. In India, vegetarianism has been the tradition for thousands of years. Ancient Greece also had a vegetarian tradition.
Now it's easier than ever to become vegan. More stores are offering alternatives to meat and dairy, there is an abundance of information in print and on the internet, and vegetarian restaurants are popping up everywhere. So dive in and enjoy the benefits!
