Veganism, a vegetarian diet that also excludes eggs, dairy, and any other animal-derived products, is on the rise, with growing numbers of people becoming conscious about what they consume. PETA dubbed 2016 #TheYearOfVegan.
"The huge shift towards veganism is really interesting," says Marianne Erasmus, publisher of
The Vegan LIFE. "It reflects a growing awareness of our impact on the world because the basis of veganism is not only about what is good for the individual, but also what is best for the planet. We support the decision to live ethically and the activism behind it, and are very proud to launch the first vegan magazine in South Africa."
The Vegan LIFE aims to give the reader everything they need to know about veganism as well as address some of the more issues like pet-owning, for instance. The magazine is packed with advice from Jessica Kotlowitz (registered dietician) and Dawn Macfarlane (plant nutritionist), information about how to start on a 21-day vegan challenge, 32 delicious vegan recipes, food lists of what to eat, a tried and tested guide to the best restaurants in Cape Town, Joburg, Durban, and Pretoria offering vegan food and more.
The Vegan LIFE is on sale from Monday, 30 January. The magazine retails for R49 and is available from all major retailers.
