Do you find that more people adopt a vegan lifestyle for ethical reasons or health reasons?
I think traditionally people became vegan because of ethical reasons. It comes as quite an emotional shock for most people when they see the truth of what is happening to the animals that become their breakfast, lunch and dinner and the easiest way to do something is to stop funding the companies that perform such atrocities. As more people become conscious of obesity rates, cholesterol levels and other health effects of eating animal products, I think this is driving many to try veganism as well. In order to stick to a vegan diet, I find it best to educate yourself about both sides of the diet and be able to talk about it with friends.
