Although the vegan diet – no animal products, including dairy and eggs – will probably always be a niche lifestyle, it is steadily gaining adherents, according to this Hartford Courant article. Thanks to the availability of good ingredients and meat substitutes, as well as an increasing number of vegetable-oriented cookbooks and recipes, the diet can be flavorful and nutritious, containing lots of protein, calcium and iron. Says one cookbook editor of the mushrooming veganism trend: “Consumers are interested in eating locally, eating seasonally and eating a diet that's good for them and good for their family, so they're open to new ideas."
