More Black Americans are choosing plants. According to a Pew Research Center survey, 8% of African Americans identify as vegan or vegetarian compared to just 3% of the general population.

Incredible story! I didn't realise Veganism was growing that fast in the African American community. I hope that our POC community here South Africa can follow suit because we've got some serious public health issues here.

Thank you for this story! I’ve been an ethical vegan for over 30 years and a strict WFPB eater… Going vegan is the single most impactful change a person can make, for the animals, for the planet, for one’s own health, and as a step toward a non-violent world.

I've been vegan for almost 5 years and I love it! I used to have chronic constipation, insomnia, fatty liver disease, fatigue and high cholesterol. Now my health is excellent and I've lost a lot of weight. I'm glad to hear that more African-Americans are embracing veganism! Too many of us are dying prematurely.

As a Haitian American vegetarian i was definitely motivated to break the cycles of preventable diseases bc diabetes, hypertension and stroke run in my family. I recommend for anyone interested watching documentary on KZbin called the invisible vegan, it talks about this topic in more detail .

Dam this is Inspiration. I been vegan going on 3 weeks. The hardest thing was findìng out what to eat but opening my mind and seeing meals I can make helped me out a lot. I'm 46 and a few people in my family passed away young. I do believe what we put in our bodies over a period of time plays a role and Lack of excercise as well. Other things too but those are the 2 that came to mind. I try to spread as much knowledge as I can to people because I want everybody to live a full life. Glad I ran into this. I love seeing people taking thier health serious and inspiring others. 💯

@ianmarshall99582 жыл бұрын
I agree that white people food is mostly garbage! So much animal ingredients and processed foods. So little spices or flavor. These big corporations like KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell prey on communities of color in particular. It’s like they want ya’ll to get sick while they fatten their pockets. I’m so glad veganism is growing and I’m sick of the anti-vegans spreading lies about veganism. We have to stand up against the misinformation they spread. Let’s keep promoting plant-based as much as possible. Take care fellow vegan! 🙂

@helicart2 жыл бұрын
@@heyalun Because the original Pew study is worded ambiguously and sloppily. Most people believe white meat and fish are not meat. Hence they get categorized as vegetarian. I am a doctor and have people tell me all the time they are vegetarian. When I ask what they had for dinner the previous night it too often includes fish or chicken.

@@helicart yes, but how would that be different for any race or ethnicity? If 5% more are saying they’re vegan or vegetarian, then wouldn’t it make sense that more are genuinely such?

@@heyalun depends on their education. Less educated people are more likely to think fish and chicken are not 'meat'. Either way, blacks and latinos are significantly more overweight and obese than whites and Asians. It's a serious problem, and should not be fiddled with by moronic social engineers in media etc. We need real solutions, not feel good schmultz from media morons.
