Plant-based diets are more nutritious, less dangerous and expensive, and kinder to the earth and animals than diets that include meat and other animal products. Because some people who call themselves “vegetarian” do eat eggs and dairy products, many people who eat no animal products at all call themselves “vegan.” Whether you are new to the idea of veganism or looking to expand the range of your vegan diet, the readings, recipes, and resources below will help you make your diet more diverse, delicious, and nutritious.
