C' EST LA  JEUNESSE AUSSI AU CANADA  QUI MENE LE MOUVEMENT VEGAN EN GRANDE PARTIE, AVEC COMME AILLEURS BCP D' ACTIVISTES



The message we seem to get from vegan activists we see on Twitter or in the news is that everyone should be vegan. But that's not a reasonable ask. Food is more than just what fuels you. Food is culture and history, daily ritual and habit, it indicates concepts of class and belonging, it connects us to the earth and other living beings.
For many Canadians, meat is the centre of the dinner plate, the key ingredient in the recipe your grandmother passed down to you and perhaps even the result of a yearly hunting trip. We can't simply pressure people into abandoning all of those things.

• Vegan protesters return to restaurant where owner cut, ate deer meat in front of them
• More than half of Canada's vegetarians and vegans under 35 years of age, survey finds

People are vegan for a multitude of reasons, but the top three tend to be about dietary health, environmental impact, and of course, concern for animal welfare. In general, it is about recognizing the connection between the way we consume and the effects it has on us and the world around us: conscious consumption.
