Melbourne is becoming the Vegan capital of the world 🌍 with the rise and rise of the vegan.

Hi everyone,

Whats going on with the interest in all things vegan reminds me of when I was diagnosed with coeliac disease as they thought I was 1 in 10,000 and now they believe it is 1 in 100.

I think its very interesting reading about like minded people in different continents and the choices they have and make. We have something going on that is a world wide raising of consciousness due to awareness.

So here's a link about Melbourne's rise in all things Vegan:

This shows the trade figures for vegan foods and the stats are eye popping with the rise and rise of the vegan.

If anyone would like to say whats going on in their part of the world then please do and it doesn't matter if its 3 vegans on a remote island or the cultural shift due to a high student population. 😊

Thanks, that's more good news -and lots of very interesting links from the livekindly article.

It's interesting that the meat and dairy industries are feeling the squeeze, I really hope that the farmers affected are able to make transition to plants.

My own city of Oxford is, imo very laggardly. Very few vegan speciality places. Feeling sorry for myself. How on earth can a place of international standing like oxford not be at the forefront!
