Veganism’s moment has arrived. No longer a counterculture movement synonymous with “hippie” and “treehugger,” this healthy, compassionate lifestyle is being embraced by the mainstream as a smart, thoughtful, and sensitive step toward a sustainable future—for humans, animals, and the environment. And never has cruelty-free living been as easy as it is right now.

The VegWeb team has put together 10 guides to help you transition to a healthy (and fantastic!) vegan lifestyle. We’ll show you how to bake, which cookbooks to stock in your kitchen, and tips and tricks for dining out without the meat. This we can say with conviction: Living veg is easy. It’s also fun, compassionate, and earth-friendly. Now is the time to go vegan. Happy eating!
