Abstract

The ideology of veganism, despite becoming increasingly popular in recent times, still suffers from several attacks, especially when it comes to health. These attacks are often caused by lack of knowledge or even misinformation of the population, especially the Portuguese population, which has a culture so marked by its cuisine. Throughout the article, I will present some facts about vegan food that contributed to substantiate my choice for this type of diet. My goal is, at least, to make people question and reflect a little on the food choices they make.
