Veggie Athletic Description
2016 was a huge year for veganism. Slowly but surely we’re going mainstream.
That means more people want to read about veganism. They want to know all the latest news, product releases, reviews and opinions within the movement. While large print media facilitates that to some degree, we felt there was a demand for more.
We knew vegans wanted their own, dedicated vegan news and media site, to deliver as much interesting vegan content as possible.
While we knew the demands of vegans, we increasingly found ourselves finding non-vegans who would be confused as to why they hadn't heard the benefits of veganism before.
The information simply doesn’t reach them, or it doesn't reach them in a way that they’re receptive to.
While delivering great content to those who are already vegan, it’s just as important to bring more people into the movement and expose them to the truth of animal agriculture.
Veggie Athletic, will continue to release regular, daily vegan content that appeals to both types of people, attempting to the help the surge in veganism.
