Being vegan is easier than ever. The amount of fashionable restaurants, food blog sites, and vegan-friendly items has actually taken off recently, making those who are egg, dairy, and meat free smile from ear to ear. However it turns out a lot of things are coincidentally vegan that may stun you. You have actually got another thing coming if you think vegans just consume kale, brown rice, and vegetables in quite bowls that appearance oh-so-pretty in Instagram pictures.
