The term “vegan”, for someone refraining from eating or using any animal products, was coined in 1994 by Vegan Society founder Donald Watson.
Watson explained the word by saying he suggested it “because veganism starts with vegetarianism and carries it through to its logical conclusion.” Actually the word Vegan already existed. In the mid-1940s a vegan was simply a non-dairy vegetarian. It was Watson who extended it to including abstinence from animal products such as leather and honey.
The DJ and voice actor Casey Kasem was a devout vegan, supported animal rights and environmental causes, and was a critic of factory farming. He initially quit voicing Shaggy in the late 1990s, after being asked to voice Shaggy in a Burger King commercial, returning in 2002 after negotiating to have Shaggy become a vegetarian.
Veganism is protected under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
“Veganism” is an anagram of “saving me”.
A 2018 survey commissioned by the Vegan Society found that there were 600,000 vegans in Great Britain (1.16% of the population.)
According to the 2014 Faunalytics survey in the US, 70% of those who adopted a vegan diet, later abandoned it.
Beyoncé launched a vegan home delivery service called 22 Days Nutrition in February 2015 with her personal trainer Marco Borges. The idea behind the plan is that it takes 21 days to break your unhealthy eating habits.
