Essential Vegan Resources on the Web

Jim Moore • February 24, 2020

It has never been easier to be a well-informed and educated vegan!

There are countless individuals all around the world that want to figure out how to become healthier, and change the way that they are eating and living. After all, veganism has become more popular than it ever has been before in recent years. There is even data that suggests that veganism is impacting global trade now.

Many others are more concerned with the ethics of veganism, and interested in living a lifestyle where animals aren’t eaten. Vegans also emphasize the fact that their lifestyle is better for the environment. It doesn’t matter whether you turned vegan last year or have been vegan for decades; you could probably use some more resources to help you. If you are interested in pursuing a vegan lifestyle, here are some resources that can help you make sure that you are on the right track.

TryVeg

If you are interested in a certain topic or lifestyle, you might end up reading about it for hours. Others might even begin purchasing books about the subject, or listening to related podcasts. One of the great things about TryVeg is that it isn’t just focused on food - there are also tips about health, travel, and more.

One great thing about TryVeg is that they offer a free starter guide that can help introduce individuals to what a vegan lifestyle really means. Of course, the fact that it is free makes the resource that much more accessible. TryVeg also has a podcast, as well.

VegNews

Some vegans are not only interested in delicious recipes, but they want to keep up with all news related to veganism. VegNews is a great website to check out in this case, and is the kind of website that will update you about new vegan fundraisers or vegan cooking shows.

If you are interested in interviews with vegans, VegNews is also a great resource. The layout is easy, and you can find some incredible conversations with athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. It’s extremely easy to navigate, and user-friendly. 

Happy Cow

There’s nothing wrong with some interesting interviews about celebrities who promote a vegan lifestyle, or reading up about interesting consumer trends that have to do with veganism. However, what about a more practical resource that can help you in your everyday life? One of the biggest obstacles for vegans is finding a place that can inform them about where to get a great vegan meal when they are out of town.

Happy Cow can come in very handy here. All you have to do is type in a city to find vegan-friendly options that are close to you. This doesn’t just include great restaurants; it also includes stores in case you feel like making your own meal. Many users write reviews, so it’s kind of evolved into a bit of a “Vegan Yelp”, which is incredibly valuable for many vegans. 

The website also offers forum posts that can offer information into issues that you might encounter in your daily life, and there is also an associated newsletter and Youtube channel.
