Spain Says Adios to Meat

Sarah Von Alt October 16, 2014
An article on The
Guardian
spotlights the growing population of vegetarians and vegans in
Spain.
According to the article, “Spanish people have a reputation
as diehard meat eaters. But in recent years, as the number of vegan or
vegetarian restaurants in Spain has doubled, there are signs of change. The
author continues, “The idea that we should, at the very least, eat less meat is
increasingly common in Spain, as in many other parts of Europe.
The feature also cites an incredibly popular Spanish vegan festival
as a sign of the times, bringing in over 5,000 attendees and showcasing foods
like muffins, chutneys, and smoothies.
This all comes on the heels of new research revealing
that a whopping one in eight British adults now follows a vegetarian or vegan
diet, and the
historic
change in the Indian city of Palitana
, which has become the first
all-vegetarian city in the world.
With more and more people moving away from meat, there’s
never been a better time to add more vegetarian foods to your diet. For tips
