Hi Reader,

​

Ever found yourself wondering, what exactly is the difference between being plant-based or vegan? Why are they used interchanably and does it actually matter?

​

Don't worry; you're not alone! Let's break it down over a cup of herbal tea.

​

Plant-Based: Think of it as the flexible cousin.

A plant-based diet focuses primarily on foods derived from plants—fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. The emphasis is on nourishing your body with nature's goodness, but it leaves a bit of room for interpretation.

Some plant-based folks may occasionally dabble in dairy or eggs, but the majority of their diet is plant-centric.

​

Vegan: This one's the strict vegan sheriff in town!

Being vegan is a full-on lifestyle choice that goes beyond diet. Vegans say "no thanks" to anything that comes from animals – no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, and even no leather or wool in their wardrobes.

It's a holistic commitment to animal rights, the environment, and ethical living.

​

Now, you might wonder why these terms get cozy so often. Well, it's because both plant-based and vegan diets can be seen as stepping stones towards a greener, cleaner world. They share a common love for animals and planet Earth, and they both make a positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

​

So, why the mix-up?

It's simply because plant-based diets often align with vegan principles when it comes to food. Plant-based meals are inherently vegan-friendly, and that's why the terms are often used interchangeably.

Remember, whether you're on team "plant-based" or team "vegan," what matters most is the positive change you're making for your health, animals, and our beautiful planet.

Cheers to your green journey, and may your plate always be bursting with colorful plant goodness!

Thanks again,

Hugs and chocolate kisses! Kadae
