New Vegan Food Products Now In Store!
We now have in stock a vast range of vegan food making us one of the leading vegan and plant-based shops and stockists in Marbella, Spain.
In 2019, 1.16% of the world population were vegans, and that number is only on the rise. Vegetarian and vegan foods are quickly replacing traditional meat dishes across the globe and it’s easy to see why. Plant-based diets are better for the planet, your body and your wallet. Not to mention delicious! But don’t take our word for it – here are some reasons to go meatless more often.
Reasons to try vegetarian foods:
- Vegetarian eating is healthy. Vegetarians have a 24% lower risk of dying of heart disease, have a lower cancer rate than those who regularly eat red meat and processed meats, and on average, even live 6 years longer than meat-eaters. Vegetarians also tend to be able to lose weight and consistently keep it off compared to non-vegetarians.
- The largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world are gases generated by manure. Going vegetarian then, can greatly reduce global warming.
- 40% of global grain production is used to feed livestock instead of people. Eating less meat means there’s more food available to help fend off world hunger.
- Vegetarian diets tend to be more economical than meat-based meals both in the supermarket as well as long-term medical costs that directly correlate to diet-based illnesses.
