We often see reels warning us of the ādangersā of extreme diets like veganism. But despite what misguided influencers say, science (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) shows that a vegan diet is optimal for humans at every stage of life. At its core, vegan food is simply plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds, without meat, dairy, eggs, or other animal products.In fact, our bodies thrive on plants. And here in India, veganism isnāt some foreign concept, itās already part of our plates: dal, sabzi, roti, oats, rice, tofu, nut milks, soy chunks, and now, thanks to innovation, even plant-based cheese, meat, and seafood.But veganism isnāt just a diet, itās a lifestyle. It means eating abundantly, experimenting with flavours, and discovering how versatile and delicious plant-based food can be. From rich curries and street snacks to gourmet alternatives, the variety is endless. And the impact is huge: if every Indian went vegan for just one month, it would equal removing 40 million cars from the roads.Amy Aela, Actor & Co-Founder of Pause Mumbai – Bandraās leading plant-based cafeRead More
