Recent research has found that over a third of Brits (34%) have dabbled with a vegan diet in the last year, thanks to the likes of 'Veganuary', World Vegan Day and World Vegan Month (November) shedding light on the health, environmental and ethical impacts the lifestyle can have.
Vegan on Female First
According to the findings, males are 50% more likely to be vegan than their female counterparts- with 10% of females and 15% of males opting for meat free meals.
Also evident, is how common veganism is in the younger generations. 1 in 5 people aged between 16-24 are trying out the vegan lifestyle compared to just 4% of those aged 55 and above.
Zizzi only launched its spring menu in March 2016 and since then, it has sold 100,000 vegan dishes and the sales of veggie dishes have gone up by 10% since 2015. Along with other restaurant chains, it is expanding its vegan offerings with every new season that arrives- which is great news for vegans who struggle to eat out.
