November is World Vegan Month! While we love celebrating the plant-based lifestyle all year long, the distinction of World Vegan Month helps bring the vegan lifestyle into the limelight. It’s also a great time of year to celebrate all things plant-based. Even if you’re not vegan, there are plenty of ways to incorporate more plant-based meals into your routine.
History of World Vegan Month
The Vegan Society helped bring World Vegan Month to life. Founded in 1944, The Vegan Society is a registered educational charity that provides information and guidance on various aspects of veganism.
The Vegan Society began as an offshoot of The Vegetarian Society in November 1944 when a group of friends felt the importance to distinguish the difference between not eating meat and not eating any products from animals. According to The Vegan Society, November 1st was soon marked as World Vegan Day and it eventually evolved into World Vegan Week and then World Vegan Month.
