Vegan Is Not Just About Food

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Updated 2nd of October 2022 After being a vegan for a bit, you might start to realise that your clothes are made from animals. The same rules apply to clothes as it does food and toiletries, which is to ovoid anything that is an animal product. With that in mind, when we need a new item of clothing we need to look out for that vegan option. If you are female, please bear in mind that I am not and so look at things from a very male perspective. Getting back as to what to do, when we shop, for instance, for a tie, we need to make sure it is not silk. Shirts Avoid anything made from animals.  Speaking for myself, I like linen or cotton. Linen is made from the flax plant and is better than cotton because it dries quicker; nonetheless, they are both made from plants making either one suitable for vegans.   Belts Belts are one of the biggest offenders with many people owning a leather belt.  Look for belts and other accessories that are not made of leather.
