No products of animal origin: this is the basic rule of the vegan diet. More than a diet, veganism is a real way of life ... which is more and more followers.

The veggie trend is growing

Even if the strict followers remain a minority (4% of vegetarians, 3% of vegans among us, according to an Ifop survey, April 2017), the veggie wave continues to rise. Vegans now have their day (November ^1), their salons (VeggieWorld in Paris on 14-15 October, in Lyon on January 27-28, 2018), their restaurants, their stores (the sign Naturalia opened in June 3 addresses 100% organic and vegan in Paris).

Why does it work?

Good for the health, for the planet and for the respect of animal welfare, the vegan tendency has many assets. The videos showing the violence in the slaughterhouses also gave him moral relevance. Without excluding it altogether, many of us are reducing our consumption of meat (so-called flexitarism) and looking for alternative recipes.
