Over the past few years we’ve really seen veganism grow — there are more and more options for us to eat in our restaurants and shops, and vegan foods are rightly taking their share of the supermarket aisles. With the huge rise of meatreplacement products (see p82 for our favourites) it’s never been easier to create exciting and tasty meals. With celebrity chefs like Gaz Oakley (p18) and restaurateur Loui Blake (p80) bringing veganism to new audiences with their innovative food, eating vegan is becoming a real choice for both vegans and non-vegans.
It’s not only our eating habits and choices that are changing and expanding — our options when it comes to clothes and accessories are only getting broader. In this month’s fashion special Fat Gay Vegan looks at how far we’ve come, Jackie Lutz offers advice on building a cruelty-free closet, and we make shopping for your autumn wardrobe easier than ever with our pick of the best vegan products.
