World Vegan Day:- It is celebrated on 1 November across the world. Do you know about the vegan movement, how are vegans different from vegetarians, when was Vegan Society established, etc? Let us find out!
World Vegan Day encourages people to follow the vegan lifestyle. According to several prominent vegans, the lifestyle of vegan’s benefits human health, protect the well-being of animals and also helps in protecting the environment. 2019 marks 75 years since the foundation of the Vegan Society.
World Vegan Day: History
Donald Watson on 1 November, 1944 called a meeting of 5 people to discuss about the non-dairy vegetarian diets. They established a new movement known as the vegan lifestyle to focus and promote the lifestyle of vegans and their importance. Over the years, they clarified the definition of their vegan diet and it became a charity in 1979. Louise Wallis, the President of the Vegan Society, in 1994 promotes the vegan lifestyle to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Vegan Society. Since then, World Vegan Day has been celebrated and promotes worldwide vegan lifestyle.
Who are Vegans?
Nowadays, Veganism is becoming popular. The Vegan term is coined in 1944. Vegan people choose not to consume dairy products including eggs and other products of animal origin. Also like vegetarians they don’t eat meat. It is said that the vegan term is chosen by combining the first and last letters of 'vegetarian'. In other words, we can say that veganism is a way of living life in which they exclude all forms of animal products, avoid exploitation of animals and cruelty whether it be for food, clothing or for any other purpose.
Now, a question arises that how are vegans different from vegetarians?
We can say that vegans are environmentalists than vegetarians.
Vegetarians don't eat eggs, meats, etc. while vegans avoid eating all dairy products and other animal products like eggs, gelatin and honey. You will be amazed to know that vegans, in fact, don't use soaps, clothes, beauty products which consist of animal products.
So, we can say that living like a vegetarian is easy as they can consume some animal products that are an important source of nutrients, protein, vitamins, etc. But vegans usually don't eat them and have to find out an alternative for it.
We can't ignore the fact that being a vegan, chances of developing diseases will reduce like heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of cancers, diabetes, etc.

The Origin of Vegan Day
You must be wondering when World Vegan Day started and how it started?
World Vegan Day was started by the Vegan Society, a group that was created by Donald Watson. Donald Watson is an English animal rights advocate who was one of the co-founders of The Vegan Society.
Back in November 1944, Donald Watson came up with the word ‘vegan’ along with 5 other ‘non-dairy vegetarians’. Through the discussion, the term ‘vegan’ was coined in replacement of ‘non-dairy vegetarian’. The word ‘vegan’ as Donald Watson described it, is the“beginning and the end of the word vegetarian”.
From then on, Vegan was the thing. It wasn’t until later that the Vegan Society began to celebrate World Vegan Day which is designated on November 1st of each year. In addition, the Vegan Society also celebrates Vegan month, in the month of November.
