Norfolk, Va. -- With more healthy and delicious meat-, egg-, and dairy-free foods available now than ever before, there's never been a better time to go vegan. But just to make sure that people who consider making the switch have everything that they need, PETA has created a brand-new website called "How to Go Vegan" that makes the transition—literally—as easy as one, two, three! That's because the site is divided into three easy-to-follow sections: "What to Buy," "What to Make," and "Where to Eat."
The "What to Buy" section lists everything from the best vegan cheeses on the market to meat-free meatballs to succulent beefless tips and "chicken" fingers. The "What to Make" sections features two weeks' worth of delicious daily meal plans as well as recipes and preparation directions for first-timers. And under "Where to Eat," visitors will learn how to order vegan meals at their favorite restaurants and what to do when visiting a friend or on the road. Visitors can even sign up to receive weekly vegan recipes or tasty tips via text message to help keep them on track.
"How to Go Vegan is an easy-to-use, all-in-one resource that will give anyone considering the smart move to go vegan everything that they need," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Now, anyone can start protecting animals, the environment, and their own health every time they sit down for a meal."
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics concluded that vegan diets reduce the risk of suffering from our nation's biggest killers, including heart disease, high cholesterol (a leading cause of strokes), obesity, cancer, and diabetes. Also, according to the United Nations, raising animals for food is "one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." And every vegan saves the lives of more than 100 animals every year.
