Australian Vegans Journal launching soon

A new vegan publication will soon be launching and you can help make it a success!

Australian Vegans Journal has the potential for creating positive change in Australia. It will look at how we can collaborate to accelerate the progress of veganism and how to be more effective in reaching the hearts and minds of people. It will support vegan activists with information about how to sustain long-term activism in their quest for a vegan world. There will also be pages with recipes, restaurant reviews, travel reviews and other fun stuff. This is a journal that informs, inspires and supports vegans and those looking into adopting veganism.

The journal will be available in printed version. You can pre-order your copy or make a crowd-funding donation to help spread the word even further.

The journal will also be available online and will be free to read. To find out when the first issue is released, sign up at www.australianvegans.com.au.

Hi Rowan, thanks for your comment. It depends a lot on what you eat. Some vegan specialty foods, especially highly processed ones, are sometimes more expensive than their non-vegan counterparts, but most people find it easy to eat a plant-based diet that is in fact cheaper than a diet that includes animal products. Vegan staples such as pasta, rice, tofu, and beans are much cheaper than meat. You mention organic produce, and while there are lots of good things about eating organic, these are quite independent of a plant-based diet, which just means avoiding animal products.

Here is a quote from Vegan Kit (http://vegankit.com/be/):

“Veganism is not expensive. While there are plenty of nonvegans ready to tell you otherwise, this is largely due to the myth that vegans are eating processed soy versions of what everyone else eats. In fact, vegans survive mainly on beans, rice, pasta, fruits, and vegetables—the cheapest ingredients on earth.”

I’ve heard that vegan diets are a bit heavier on finance than others because of organic options and all that? Just wondering how true this is?
