World Vegan Day

 12 Fall Vegetables You Should Know How To Cook

The Vegan Society was established in November of 1944, although the exact date was unknown. Vegan Day first occurred on November 1, 1994 as a way of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the UK Vegan Society and indeed the term “Vegan”.  The President of the Vegan Society decided to elect the date of the 1st of November.

Along with celebrating the start of the Vegan Society, Vegan Day is an opportunity to promote the benefits of a vegan diet and veganism in general. The term "Vegan" was coined by Donald Watson and derived from the word Vegetarian. At that time, the differentiation was that Vegans did not consume dairy products. Later this extended to eggs, and by 1951, veganism had become a movement of people who did not partake in the exploitation of animals.

The term "Vegan" and celebration of Vegan Day has become worldwide. Each year there are a number of festivals and exhibitions held around the globe by vegan societies. In addition, there are many local events, talks and cooking demonstrations organized by individuals. November 1 is the first day of World Vegan Month!
