World Champion Lethwei Fighter Dave Leduc Says Being Vegan Is A Philosophy 'Not A Diet'

'Many people try plant-based diets, but once you reunite with your compassion and choose the vegan way of life, it’s almost impossible to go back'

I'm sure not going to argue with him.
However, this guy does not look like a compassionate kind of guy. Well, you can't judge a book by its cover.

This is very good news.

The latest Dunnhumby Beyond data, taken from the past week’s shopper receipts across the top nine UK grocery retailers, shows sales represented a record £12m.
The increase has been largely driven by shoppers exploring new ranges, with nearly 31% more shoppers buying foods from the ‘meat and dairy alternatives’ category for the first time.

I haven't seen the film, but I read the article. Its seems like the main point of the film is stuff that has already been covered a number of times. People changing their diets on an infividual basis is something everyone here already know about.
I thought from the subtitle, "government critizesd", it would be more on policy. But from the article that policy changes were more of an afterthought. Only in the last paragraph did the author say, "The cost of pollution and deforestation should be ’embedded’ in the price of food, she said. Similarly, she argued that more ethically produced food such as organic should not be more expensive for both the consumer and producer."
Yep, individually we can do a lot - maybe enough - but government policy should be just as important.
