Making the Vegan Transition

Published by PETA Staff.

Going vegan is easy. Grocery stores are always stocked with colorful fruits and vegetables, and they now carry plenty of delicious meatless options, too—including veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs, vegan chicken nuggets, faux bacon, beefless strips, and more.

Going out to eat couldn’t be easier, either. With more and more people going vegan these days, most restaurants now offer great-tasting, healthy vegan selections.

Here are our top six tips, along with several other ideas, for making your transition to a vegan lifestyle easy and delicious:

  1. Make vegan versions of your favorite meals.

  3. Try some tasty meat- and dairy-free products.
