By definition, veganism (in food) is the avoidance of meat and its by products in one’s nutritional diet.  It was coined by Donald Watson back in 1944. A piece of trivia: did you know that aside from November 1 being commemorated as All Saints’ Day, it is also celebrated as World Vegan Day? This day gathers vegans all over the world to celebrate this day through various festivities and activities.

The scope of veganism is far and wide, and can be political, however it is not the intention of this article to cover that. Rather, the objective is to create the awareness for such practice, and to emphasize how living in a tropical country like the Philippines could enable any vegan-curious individual to start exploring our available resources in order to sustain a vegan lifestyle.
