Lifestyle & Nutrition

It is now widely accepted that the vegan diet is a healthy option for adults - if you still need convincing, have a look at our information on nutrition and check out all the athletes who have opted for a vegan diet whilst in training.

However, there is still a common misconception that children 'need meat and milk to help them grow'. The reality is that animal products can have a detrimental effect on children's health. In our parenting section, you'll find lots of information to help you raise healthy, happy vegan children. There's also a section just for kids, to help them learn more about vegan living.

But veganism is not just about what you eat. Animal ingredients are used in a whole range of products, from photographs and matches to washing up liquids and moisturisers.
