In Australia, Domino’s just
released its Vegan Summer BBQ Pizza (it’s summer down under) in 700 stores!
It features vegan mozzarella, a barbeque sauce base, and tons of veggies. In
the U.K., Pizza Hut blew
out of its new vegan Jack ’N’ Ch**se Pizza, selling more than 9,000
jackfruit-topped pies in just two weeks. And on Monday Papa
John’s announced it would introduce vegan cheese options across the U.K. due to
consumer demand.

health, just
released guidelines that favor plant-based foods and exclude dairy as a food
group.

This shift away from dairy is not only excellent
for our health and the environment
but good for animals. The fact is, cows exploited for dairy are some of the most

violently slaughtered.
