Frequently Asked Questions
What is the easiest way to start going vegan?
Start with meals you already like that are vegan or nearly vegan, then swap one ingredient at a time. Most people find it easier to change breakfast and lunch first, because those meals repeat most.
Do I have to go vegan overnight?
No. Some people switch in a day and some take a month or more. The better approach is the one you can keep doing, and a planned transition over a few weeks works well for most people.
What supplement do new vegans need most?
Vitamin B12 is the one nutrient every vegan needs from fortified foods or a supplement, because it is not reliably available from unfortified plant foods. Vitamin D, iodine, and omega-3s are worth reviewing with a clinician too.
Is being vegan expensive?
It does not have to be. Beans, lentils, rice, oats, frozen vegetables, and seasonal produce are among the cheapest foods in any grocery store. Specialty meat and cheese alternatives are what push the bill up.
Does vegan mean more than food?
For many people, yes. The Vegan Society defines veganism as excluding animal exploitation as far as is possible and practicable, which can include clothing, cosmetics, and household products as well as food.
