Veganism has truly taken off – as a lifestyle and as a diet – especially in Europe and the United States.
There has been plenty of discussion around the potential health and environmental benefits of a vegan diet, and the trend shows little sign of slowing down.

But are we ready to make such a radical transition? And what are the hidden costs – socially, economically and environmentally?
